This project, developed over more than four years, raises universal questions: who are we, and how does our past shape our present and future? <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delving into the intergenerational history of her ancestors, Lisa Marie Boissonneau weaves an intimate connection between personal and collective memory. Her works, enriched by family stories and visual archives, invite the public to reflect on their own roots, while addressing social and historical issues linked to adoption, an experience deeply rooted in her life journey. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally from Moncton and now based in Mauricie QC, Boissonneau has a background in visual arts and a rich artistic career. She has participated in international competitions and exhibited her works in galleries across Canada. Her pieces, characterized by a profound identity quest, resonate with universal themes while celebrating the richness of personal and family histories. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">-30-<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Contact:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><strong>Lisa Marie Boissonneau<\/strong><br\/>Artist<br\/>lisamarieboissonneau@gmail.com<br\/>(514) 538-3755<\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>Annie C\u00f4t\u00e9<\/strong><br\/>Director Arts and Culture Department, City of Edmundston <a href=\"mailto:annie.cote@edmundston.ca\">annie.cote@edmundston.ca<\/a>\u202f\u2013 1.506.739-2127 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artsedmundston.ca\">www.artsedmundston.ca\u202f<\/a>\u2013<a href=\"http:\/\/www.edmundston.ca\">\u202fwww.edmundston.ca<\/a><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"794\" data-id=\"75114\" src=\"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Lisa-Marie-Boissonneau-Freres-de-Coeur-Acrylique-sur-toile--1024x794.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75114\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Lisa-Marie-Boissonneau-Freres-de-Coeur-Acrylique-sur-toile--980x760.jpg 980w, https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Lisa-Marie-Boissonneau-Freres-de-Coeur-Acrylique-sur-toile--480x372.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"75108\" src=\"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Photo_Lisa-Marie-Boissonneau-2022-carre-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Photo_Lisa-Marie-Boissonneau-2022-carre-980x980.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Photo_Lisa-Marie-Boissonneau-2022-carre-480x480.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8220;Racines emprunt\u00e9es \u2013 un voyage identitaire&#8221; (&#8220;Borrowed roots \u2013 a journey of identity&#8221;), an exhibition by Lisa Marie Boissonneau, on display from September 11 to December 19, 2025, at the Centre des arts Gallery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":76094,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-91807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-non-classifiee","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91807"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91807\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91812,"href":"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91807\/revisions\/91812"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artsedmundston.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
