About

Johanna Moya

Johanna Moya is a queer multidisciplinary visual artist who lives year-round in Douglastown in the Gaspé Peninsula. A versatile photographer, they develop documentary and community projects, with the aim of making art as accessible as possible to everyone, while addressing complex or taboo subjects through images, such as body and sexual diversity, intergenerational relationships, sense of belonging, collective memory, and social justice.

Her creative work, driven by inclusive and intersectional values, draws inspiration from the environments in which she has traveled and evolved, such as the Gaspé region where she currently lives.

Since arriving in the Gaspé Peninsula, she has been exploring the connections between women's bodies and the land, particularly through her ecofeminist nude photographs. Through photography, Johanna hopes to create a space where women can better understand, discover, and accept themselves within society, while also having the strength to challenge and resist it.

Beyond her visual arts practice, they have been developing a small flower farm at home for the past four years. They cultivate all kinds of flowers locally in an eco-responsible way. Gardening is an essential way for them to reconnect intimately with the earth, with our world, by taking deep care of it.
