Isabelle Mathieu

Born in Sainte-Rosalie, Isabelle Mathieu is a proud boxer and defender of learning by lived experience. She obtained a double DEC in drama and visual arts; and while pursuing an Olympic career she works as a waitress and sommelier. Her boxing career path is the subject of her research and creation in her BA studies in visual and media arts at l’Université du Québec à Montréal.  She also paints and is naturally drawn to performance: some of her site-specific works are at the gym where she questions the codes around boxing culture.
