ABOUT

Kevin Jesuino is a Vancouver-based queer Portuguese-Canadian artist working at the intersection of performance, dance, photography, and video, all within the context of participatory, socially engaged, and community-based practices. His work has been shown in performance and visual art venues, as well as in parking lots, street corners, public parks, back alleys, and DIY spaces across Canada and abroad. He views himself as a performer, sculptor, and co-conspirator, collaborating with diverse groups ranging from scientists and city planners to youth and mixed-ability communities.

Through orchestrated participatory actions, he responds to urgent themes of unseen histories, climate change, and the urban connection to the natural world. Deeply rooted in the labour of decolonization and equitable liberation, he utilizes movement, performance, and public interventions to invite participants into a playful, embodied exploration of complex social questions.Beyond his solo practice, he is a dedicated artistic director and community facilitator. He currently serves as the Artistic Director of Theatre Terrific, Canada's oldest inclusive and accessibility-focused theatre company, and is the Co-Artistic Director of TRAction, a settler and Indigenous co-led collective of performance and socially engaged art practitioners.
