Evann Siebens and Keith Doyle collaborated with forty-three artists for the making of Pedestrian Protest, both for the original public artwork at Vancouver Art Gallery Offsite in 2021 and now in book form. Siebens makes media, performance and photos with movement. Her lens-based practice negotiates the human body as an archival site and the politics of the female gaze. Recent exhibitions include Trieste Contemporanea, Italy; Cloud Seven and Wil Aballe, Brussels; MACBA, Barcelona; and Kunstinstituut Melly in Rotterdam. Evann’s documentary work previously screened at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC and was broadcast on PBS. Her work from ‘A Performance Affair’ in Brussels, Belgium was featured on the front page of the International New York Times in 2019. Keith Doyle is Associate Dean, Associate Professor of Design + Dynamic Media at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. He is a Co-Director of Material Matters, which was featured in the Vancouver Art Gallery exhibition Fashion Fictions in 2023. Doyle will be releasing the book Material Matters Lab: Here//Too//For in 2026, published by the Vancouver Art Gallery.
