Originally from Italy and Argentina, Alessia Canteros is an artist based in Tio’tia:ke / Moonyiang / Montreal. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Design with a specialization in Computation Arts from Concordia University (2020).

Her multidisciplinary practice centers on explorations of impermanence, crip time, and migratory narratives. Working primarily in printmaking through drypoint, traditional etching, and experimental approaches, she examines how time manifests through material transformation and memory. She materializes the tension between dissolution and creation, exploring how memory fragments transform across generations.

Her work has been presented at L’Imprimerie (Montreal), Espacio Camargo (Buenos Aires), artch (Montreal), Art Volt (Montreal), Ada X (Montreal), Buddies in Bad Times Theatre (Toronto), Technoculture Art and Games (Montreal), VAV Gallery (Montreal), and Interfold Magazine (Montreal). Her work has been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Conseil des arts de Montréal, and the Elspeth McConnell Prize.

Her work during this residency engages with crip time and chronodissidence, questioning temporal expectations of productivity. Through her practice, she creates spaces that honour non-normative bodily and cognitive rhythms while exploring how artistic processes can support neurodivergent and chronically fatigued artists in working on their own terms.
