Alejandra Basañes

I was born in San Juan Argentina; I have lived in Trois-Rivières, Canada for 17 years, where I work with printmaking at the Presse Papier Atelier, an organization of which I have been president for almost two years.

I work lithography, silk-screen and installations.

I work also on printing on glass. I combine the two techniques, glass and printmaking.

My fields of research revolve around immigration, territory and the condition of women.

Education: Visual Artist - Professor of Arts at the National University of San Juan, Argentina; Visual Arts at Paris VIII, France and Master of Visual Arts at Laval University Quebec, Canada.

Reconciliation (Traces - 04/2021)

Reconcile the land and devastation

Reconcile the landscape and the catastrophe

Reconcile water and thirst

Reconcile memory and forgetfulness

Reconcile departure and a possible return

Reconcile sadness and joy

Reconcile fears and “I can”

Reconcile error and forgiveness

Reconcile heartbreak and love

Reconcile fury and peace

Reconcile man and woman
