Kevin Jesuino is a Vancouver-based Portuguese-Canadian artist who works at the intersection of performance, dance, socially engaged art, photography, video, and any other medium that helps him convey his ideas. 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. Beyond his own solo practice, Jesuino collaborates with diverse communities, scientists, architects, choreographers, and scholars, inhabiting the fluid roles of performer, sculptor, and co-conspirator.

Jesuino’s installations and performances revolve around the architecture of performative inquiry. His works are careful orchestrations of participatory actions and documentation, responding to the urgent themes of uncertain change, unseen histories, and urban connection to the natural world. Deeply rooted in the transformative labour of decolonization and equitable liberation, Jesuino integrates video art, temporary public interventions, and movement to invite participants to navigate complex social questions through embodied, playful and witness actions.

Outside of his independent practice, Jesuino is a dedicated artistic director and community facilitator. He serves as the Artistic Director of Theatre Terrific and the Co-Artistic Director of TRAction, leading initiatives that bridge disability arts and climate justice across Northern Turtle Island.
