A Montrealer of Cameroonian and Congolese origin, Sirima Noumbissie-Nzefa believes that art is essential to self-development and well-being. She reconciles her multiple interests – which range from writing to gastronomy – by exploring the cultural universe of her city, located on the unceded territory of Tiohtià:ke. Fascinated by the complexity of human health, Sirima is in the process of completing her Master’s degree in physiotherapy and plans to graduate in 2023.
Originally from Uruguay, Lula Carballo holds a Master’s degree in creative writing from the Université du Québec à Montréal. Her novel Créatures du hasard was published by Le Cheval d’août in 2018. Ensemble nous voyageons, a children’s book co-written with Catherine-Anne Laranjo and illustrated by the artist Kesso, was published by Éditions Dent-de-lion in the fall of 2021. It includes several poems and translations published by Lula in various specialized magazines. Thanks to her experience as an interpreter with the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, she has a unique ability to interact and create with people of different backgrounds while leading workshops that combine art and writing.
