Her projects take the form of participatory performances, public interventions, and audiovisual installations. By mobilizing the body as a site of memory, listening, and transformation, she interrogates structures of domination and the silences surrounding violence, as well as the possibilities for healing, resistance, and reclaiming through art.

She holds a degree in Fine Arts with a specialization in Intermedia (Video, Performance, and Electronic Arts) from Concordia University, and has collaborated with cultural institutions and taken part in residencies in Canada, the United States, Bosnia, Mexico, and France.

Mila will perform at the Bureau des colères at Lèche-vitrine for the vernissage on April 8th.

𝐄𝐧 𝐫𝐞́𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 : 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐅𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐭 𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐭 "𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐞𝐮𝐫" ❤️‍🩹

Courage vient du mot coeur s'intéresse au processus de guérison dans le cadre de violences sexuelles, notamment son aspect non linéaire, imprévisible et profondément intime. Le projet explore plus largement la guérison comme une succession de transformations à l’oeuvre après la violence, interrogeant les changements d’état qui traversent ce processus : comment l’adversité peut devenir force, comment la douleur se transforme en résistance, et comment l’effondrement peut ouvrir un espace de reconstruction. L’intention est de faire émerger un récit sensible, conçu comme un outil de sensibilisation et de transmission face aux conséquences des violences sexuelles. Il cherche à approfondir les dimensions féministes et collectives de la guérison, et à interroger la manière dont un récit au « je » peut inviter un « nous ».

with @_milamour @urghleshmeck @bbbastik
at Boisé Steinberg
for @angles.of.consequence
14 june 2025

We gathered at Boisé Steinberg, an unruly woodland adjacent to Rue Hochelaga, for a site-specific installation and performance. Through the medium of reflected sunlight, we celebrated the boisé and the many efforts to protect it by its community while navigating ecological mourning, memory, and collective action.

It was a really, really good day.

Thank you @culturenaturestructure and the entire research & production team for your help in all its forms over the past year.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and trusted us to participate.

Thanks as well for support from LePARC, the Milieux Institute, SSHRC, & CALQ.

During the March 8, 2024, demonstration in Mexico City, I organized a performance inviting participants to scream with me. We screamed out of frustration, fear, joy, and solidarity—but most of all, out of exhaustion and rage.

180,000 people. 3 hours of screaming.

That day, I was reminded of the vital force of anger—its capacity to unite and its transformative power. Many of us are denied access to this emotion when we have SO MUCH to be angry about. Anger is the emotion that best protects us from injustice. We need to feel it and use it.

I’m bringing this intervention back to Montreal this year. Saturday, March 8, at 5 PM. DM me for the location.

A gigantic thank you to Alex and Gemma, Leonora for being my superwomen.
