Alek Bélanger is a french Canadian multidisciplinary artist. He marries his passion for visual art, filmmaking and poetry all together. His recent art series entitled "Portraits" explores themes of identity & queerness. The additional part of this art series delves into a potent and direct exploration, utilizing gay conversion therapy books as a canvas to create transformative & uplifting poetry. Defiantly asserting queerness as an innate and powerful gift, the project sheds light on the exploitation of vulnerable individuals through harmful words during moments of weakness. The artist transforms negativity into uplifting poetry, reclaiming power and showcasing the resilience of the LGBTQ2S+ community.
