Born in the same year as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Polytechnique shootings, Arkadi Lavoie Lachapelle has experienced a path of university and post-university education, influenced by the 2012 student movement, third wave feminism and diverse spiritual practices. Since 2010, her sometimes anonymous and clandestine artistic adventures have taken place both in Canada and in small and large cities in Russia and Europe. She is involved in the organisation of several events, including VIVA! Art action and Journée sans culture.
