 T IN ENGLISH. Q&R IN FRENCH AND ENGLISH.\n\nAWARE\n\n	AWARE: Archives of W
 omen Artists\, Research & Exhibitions works towards making women and non-b
 inary artists of the 16th to 21st centuries visible by producing and shari
 ng free trilingual (French/English/Japanese) content about their work on i
 ts website. This online resource presently contains more than 1\,400 biogr
 aphical texts and draws up to 180\,000 visits per month. AWARE represents 
 a diversity of voices with texts written by around 500 researchers\, femin
 ist art historians\, art critics\, and activists from all over the world. 
 To widely disseminate research on women artists\, AWARE also organizes sym
 posia\, round tables\, and seminars in collaboration with institutions\, u
 niversities\, museums\, and non-for-profits in France and all over the wor
 ld. After more than ten years as a non-governmental organisation\, AWARE b
 ecame an integral part of the Centre Pompidou - Musée national d’art mo
 derne in January 2026.\n\nCanadian BIPOC Artists Rolodex \n\n	The Canadia
 n BIPOC Artists Rolodex is a searchable\, curated database designed to su
 pport research\, teaching\, and exhibitions of Black\, Indigenous\, and Pe
 ople of Colour artists\, who remain underrepresented in Canadian art insti
 tutions. Referencing and building upon the informal networks through which
  many of these artists have historically been known\, the Rolodex facilita
 tes early-stage research and increases visibility in curricula\, publicati
 ons\, and exhibitions\, addressing ongoing gaps in representation and acce
 ss. \n\n	Founded in 2021 by professors Jinny Yu\, Ming Tiampo\, Celina Je
 ffery\, and data curator Felicity Tayler\, the Canadian BIPOC Artists Rolo
 dex is supported by an advisory board comprising Analays Alvarez\, Amber B
 erson\, Emelie Chhangur\, Tammer El-Sheikh\, Andrea Fatona\, Alyssa Fearon
 \, David Garneau\, Andrew Gayed\, Linda Grussani\, Vicki Sung-yeon Kwon\, 
 Roxanne Lafleur\, Marissa Largo\, Michelle LaVallée\, Godfre Leung\, Henr
 y Heng Lu\, Tak Pham\, Cheryl Sim\, and Haema Sivanesan.\n\nCarleton Centr
 e for Transnational Cultural Analysis\n\n	The Centre for Transnational Cul
 tural Analysis (CTCA) is a research hub based within the Institute for Com
 parative Studies in Literature\, Art and Culture (ICSLAC) at Carleton Univ
 ersity. Founded in 2005\, at a time when cultural studies disciplines were
  almost exclusively defined by the nation as the organizing unit of analys
 is\, CTCA creates the necessary interdisciplinary connections and networks
  that increase the impact of transnational research in the Humanities. \n
 \n	In our current moment of rising xenophobia\, nationalism\, and closing 
 borders\, the need for new intellectual models and histories has made crit
 ical global studies one of the most urgent issues of our generation. Thoug
 h studies of the global have been traditionally rooted in the social scien
 ces\, CTCA’s initiatives are focused on thinking through the cultural co
 nsequences of globalization and how they have reshaped our world.\n\nCentr
 e Pompidou\n\n	Founded nearly 50 years ago\, the Centre Pompidou is at onc
 e a museum of modern and contemporary art\, a public library\, and a cente
 r for artistic\, musical\, and industrial creation\, grounded in a distinc
 tly interdisciplinary approach. Its Contemporary Creation and Prospective 
 Department develops exhibitions\, acquisitions\, and research projects in 
 close dialogue with current issues\, with a focus on transnational circula
 tions\, emerging scenes\, and experimental forms. The recent integration o
 f AWARE further strengthens this direction by placing the research and vis
 ibility of women artists at the core of a more inclusive art history.\n\nI
 nstitut français du Canada\n\n	As part of a vast global network\, the Ins
 titut français du Canada’s mission is to strengthen ties between France
  and Canada and promote exchanges through artistic\, educational\, scienti
 fic\, and academic projects.\n\n	In collaboration with our public and priv
 ate partners\, we organise a variety of events and develop customised prog
 rammes.\n\n	We also support the talents of today and tomorrow through resi
 dencies in France and Canada for artists and intellectuals\, thereby promo
 ting cross-cultural research and creation between our two countries.\n\n
