Florence-Agathe Dubé-Moreau
Author, columnist and independent curator specializing in contemporary art, Florence-Agathe Dubé-Moreau works at the intersection of culture and sport. In 2023, she published her first essay, Hors jeu : chronique culturelle et féministe sur l’industrie du sport professionnel, with Éditions du Remue-Ménage, in which she deconstructs one by one the myths surrounding women in the sports industry. Florence takes a clear-eyed look at issues of equality, equity and inclusion in today’s sport. She conveys this expertise at conferences, or as a guest and columnist on various TV, web and radio platforms.
Florence holds a master’s degree in art history from the Université du Québec à Montréal. Over the past ten years, she has produced several critically acclaimed and award-winning exhibitions and texts. She was assistant curator for the Canadian delegation to the 56th Venice Biennale (2015), guest curator of the 6th edition of the Foire en art actuel de Québec (2019), and first artistic director of Projet Casa (2020), an alternative art space she helped create. In 2023, she was invited by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to co-curate the exhibition Françoise Sullivan: “I let rhythms flow,” marking the artist’s centenary.
Her texts have been published in the journals Espace, Esse, exPosition, Intermédialités, Nouveau Projet, Résidence and Vie des arts, as well as in several exhibition catalogues. Florence is a visual arts columnist for ELLE Québec and a contributor to ELLE Canada and the show De l’huile sur le feu on ICI Première.
Since 2017, she also works to promote educational success through art and sports through her involvement as co-chair of the LDT Foundation, which offers free extracurricular activities in Quebec’s elementary schools.
