F\u00e9licia Vollant-Dub\u00e9<\/a> is a young Innu-Naskapi woman, from the Innu Nation of Matimekush-Lac-John. Living on the autism spectrum, she transforms silence into a visual language. Her first solo exhibition reveals a deep sensitivity and a remarkable artistic commitment.<\/p>\n

Since her early teens, F\u00e9licia showed a definite talent and a desire to use art as a tool for social commitment. At the age of 15, she designed the logo for a women\u2019s shelter. The following year, she contributed to a book on the protection of children\u2019s rights. At 18, F\u00e9licia takes part in the Onaki Fablab workshop, where she explores the connection between technology and Indigenous culture.<\/p>\n

Her career continues with a series of noteworthy collaborations. At 19, she collaborated with renowned Indigenous artists, including Anatole St-Onge, Jacques Newashish, and Ingrid Desterres, to create a mural at the Shaputuan Museum in Uashat. F\u00e9licia also designed a Christmas card for Senator Mich\u00e8le Audette and had the honor of presenting her works at the 40th anniversary of the Innu Nikamu Festival.<\/p>\n

Her exhibition, Children of Silence, is a striking poetic response to the too frequent invisibility experienced by autistic children. Her characters have no mouths, an artistic choice charged with meaning that challenges our communication norms and celebrates non-verbal languages. For Felicia, silence is never empty; it is action, vision, existence.<\/p>\n

F\u00e9licia Vollant-Dub\u00e9 embodies a new generation of Indigenous artists, committed and daring, deeply rooted in their culture and open to the world. She blazes a trail with quiet strength and rare authenticity. Sacred Fire Productions<\/a>\u2019 Cultural Space presents Children of Silence until July 31, 2025.<\/p>\n
