Canada.
North America/Europe has the infrastructure that we are used to searching to find artists. While the unresearched artists may all be performance artists, they may not be. The reason the US, UK, Canada and Europe have the preponderance of artists listed is more likely the ease of search we are used to rather than the idea of more artists there as well as the privilege to create in relatively safe environments.
If you know these artists and they do not belong, see names that should be written about sooner, or if you know others who are not on these lists, please let me know.

- 7a11d INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF PERFORMANCE ART -The Toronto Performance Art Collective (TPAC) organizes the biennial 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art, English Canada’s oldest performance art festival, taking place in Toronto since 1997. The 13th edition of our festival was presented September 6-10, 2022. TPAC also produces occasional performance art projects in various non-festival contexts.

More Caught in the Act: An Anthology of Performance Art by Canadian Women, Artexte Editions, Montreal and YYZ Books, Toronto 2016 – More Caught in the Act includes 29 comprehensive profiles of artists from across the country, along with five contextual essays that place current performance strategies by women within broader art historical and cultural contexts. Richly illustrated by a stunning colour cover and 264 black and white images, More Caught in the Act captures the depth and breadth of this exciting field.
- The Toronto Performance Art Collective (TPAC) 7a11d is a not-for-profit, artist-driven collective that curates and produces English Canada’s oldest ongoing biennial of performance art. In non-festival years collective members engage in a variety of other performance-based projects. 7a11d was established in 1997 by a group of performance artists, collectives, and organizers, eager to develop a forum for performance art in Toronto. The first 7a11d International Festival of Performance Art, in August 1997, presented the work of 60 local, national and international artists. Currently comprised of seven members, the 7a11d collective officially incorporated under the name Toronto Performance Art Collective in 2012.
