Mélissa Andrianasolo is a PhD Student in Art History at Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM). Her thesis subject is about Black contemporary artists’ praxis in artistic space in Montréal. She leads independent research work about place and representation of BIPOC in Art History for several years through her podcast La Couleur de l’Art (“The Color of Art”). In this podcast she grapples with the challenges, possibilities, and complexities of the representation of people of color in art, including their depiction and their presence as professionals in the field. Thanks to this independent research work, she has been able to give conferences and workshops in museum (Pompidou Centre, Musée d’Aquitaine), art galleries (PHI, La Guilde) and universities (Concordia’s 4th Space, Museology Department of UQAM) to talk about racism, inclusion and representation
