Through an exploration of different narrative forms, she probes the role of the imagination in the construction of identities, mythologies and cultural territories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quintas is interested in creation as a way of interpreting society and the issues raised by citizen-artists whose interventions modulate and disrupt the public space into which they are inserted. Questions of identity and belonging, history and memory, abandonment and transformation, are recurring themes in her work. Her projects are contextual, often developed during residencies, and inspired by social science methodologies; they are anchored in encounters and research around cultural and political territories, as she seeks the fragile balance between documentation and poetry, between aesthetics and critical engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of Catalan background, Eva Quintas lives and works in Montreal (Quebec, Canada). Her work has been presented in Canada and various countries in Europe and the Americas, Japan and West Africa, in exhibitions, events, and media art festivals and on digital platforms. Her recent projects have been developed through international residencies: Les R\u00e9collets, Paris (2015); Lumi\u00e8re d&#8217;encre, C\u00e9ret (2024); El Bolit, Girona (2023). For the past years, she has combined her practice with cultural work related to policy, programming, mediation and research.\u00a0 Co-founder\u00a0 of the digital creation centre <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topo.art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TOPO, <\/span><\/a>she is also member of <a href=\"https:\/\/latraverseegeopoetique.com\/\">La Travers\u00e9e<\/a> &#8211; Atelier de g\u00e9op\u00e9tique and co-researcher of the Observatoire des m\u00e9diations culturelles (<a href=\"https:\/\/omec.inrs.ca\/\">OMEC<\/a>).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cd5a9d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0cd5a9d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;container_type&quot;:&quot;flex&quot;,&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53471f4 elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"53471f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/evaquintas.ca\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor\/assets\/css\/widget-icon-list.min.css\">\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/evaquintas.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/EvaQuintas_CV2025_3pages-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-file\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M369.9 97.9L286 14C277 5 264.8-.1 252.1-.1H48C21.5 0 0 21.5 0 48v416c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h288c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V131.9c0-12.7-5.1-25-14.1-34zM332.1 128H256V51.9l76.1 76.1zM48 464V48h160v104c0 13.3 10.7 24 24 24h104v288H48z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Curriculum Vitae  (see pdf doc: EvaQuintas_CV2025.pdf)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/evaquintas.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/EvaQuintas_presse.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-newspaper\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M552 64H112c-20.858 0-38.643 13.377-45.248 32H24c-13.255 0-24 10.745-24 24v272c0 30.928 25.072 56 56 56h496c13.255 0 24-10.745 24-24V88c0-13.255-10.745-24-24-24zM48 392V144h16v248c0 4.411-3.589 8-8 8s-8-3.589-8-8zm480 8H111.422c.374-2.614.578-5.283.578-8V112h416v288zM172 280h136c6.627 0 12-5.373 12-12v-96c0-6.627-5.373-12-12-12H172c-6.627 0-12 5.373-12 12v96c0 6.627 5.373 12 12 12zm28-80h80v40h-80v-40zm-40 140v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h136c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v24c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12H172c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12zm192 0v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h104c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v24c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12H364c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12zm0-144v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h104c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v24c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12H364c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12zm0 72v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h104c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v24c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12H364c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Press kit (see pdf doc: EvaQuintas_presse.pdf)<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biography Eva QuintasPhotography and Media Artseva (at) evaquintas (dot) ca Facebook &#8212; Instagram Since the 1990s, Eva Quintas has pursued a photographic practice rooted in social and cultural issues with an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach.
