Damian Siqueiros

Damian Siqueiros is an artist-researcher and the founder and creative director of the Terra Sapiens Collective, an artistic laboratory dedicated to researching and implementing eco-socially sustainable art practices. Integrating Western science, Indigenous knowledge, environmental justice and circular design, the collective focuses on community engagement and works along three axes: art for impact, education and cultural mediation.

A multidisciplinary artist working across photography, video, multimedia installation and art direction, he has taken part in more than 60 exhibitions internationally, including at the Art Museum of the Americas, the Frost Museum in Miami, the MMCA Goyang residency (South Korea), the Carrousel du Louvre and the Tambaran Gallery in New York. He has collaborated with Vogue Latin America, Elle Mexico and Esquire Mexico, as well as with cultural and environmental organizations such as Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, the Margie Gillis Foundation, Age of Union and Wildlife Conservation Society Canada. Since 2018, he has led more than 40 Art for Impact workshops in Asia, Europe and North America.

He is currently pursuing a PhD in arts studies and practices (DEPA) at UQAM, a research-creation project co-supervised by Laura Pereira (Stockholm Resilience Centre) that deepens the theoretical foundations of his Art for Impact Framework. Since October 2025, he has also collaborated as an artist-researcher with INSPIRI, a Horizon Europe network dedicated to the restoration of aquatic ecosystems.

With artist Alyssa Martens, he co-leads Fleuves en Communs: Building New Ecosocial Imaginaries Through Art for the Conservation of the Saint Lawrence River, a transdisciplinary project of photography, film, poetry and storytelling carried out in partnership with the UNESCO Chair in Urban Landscape and supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.
