The Hexagram Research-Creation Network is pleased to announce the appointment of Alice Jarry (PhD in Art Studies and Practices, UQAM) as co-director, representing Concordia University. She joins Sofian Audry (PhD in Humanities [Fine Arts], Concordia), who has been representing the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) since 2021.
As the representative of Concordia, Alice Jarry succeeds both Christopher Salter (2014-2022) and Jonathan Lessard (interim, 2022-2023). This transition marks a significant change in the governance of the Network, both in substance and symbolism. It signifies the shift to a new generation of artist-researchers. Similar to Sofian Audry, Alice Jarry’s professional and academic career is closely intertwined with Hexagram’s development. By appointing former student members as co-directors, the Network reaffirms its deep commitment to nurturing the next generation of research-creation artists.

Hexagram is dedicated to forging and strengthening connections between artistic and scientific disciplines. The new co-directors are committed to fostering conditions conducive to the development of innovative creations and advancing new knowledge, driven by socio-environmental concerns and the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Sofian Audry and Alice Jarry aim to sustain active collaborations within the network while undertaking research-creation related to critical issues, taking into account both human and more-than-human perspectives: exploring new materialities, addressing ecological challenges, examining the performativity of living organisms and artificial agents.
