Marianne Rouche

Marianne Rouche is a multidisciplinary artist and cultural worker. With degrees in anthropology, art history and intermedia arts from McGill and Concordia Universities, she is interested in the city and its interstices, where the empty and the built, the obsolete and the productive, meet. She defends flânage and urban exploration as modes of presence and knowledge production in their own right. Questioning the relationship between the group and the individual, she advocates a philosophy of softness, where the latter is experienced as an expansive force, a catalyst for an open and benevolent mode of relationality. She seeks to integrate this approach into her work and contribute to the creation of spaces that recognize the value of care, listening, the multiple and the provisional.

Her work has been presented at GIV, Galerie VAV and Écotone. Her latest publication, entitled Lara Almarcegui: mémoires sédimentaires et imaginaires du vide, appeared in Esse magazine n°112, Rêves, in autumn 2024.

She has also worked as a cultural mediator for Printemps Numérique and Artenso, before taking charge of programming for the 2023 edition of RIPA. Her experiences in the arts and her passion for intervention practices led her to apply to DARE-DARE, where she has held the position of Project and Special Events Manager since August 2024.
