Annie France Noël is a queer Acadian visual artist, photographer and cultural worker. Her practice observes intimate and vulnerable aspects of the human experience through various photographic and interdisciplinary approaches.
After taking several photography classes at the Université de Moncton (2007-2010), Annie France now pursues a slow-paced and experimental practice. She is recognized as a noteworthy contemporary lens-based artist, manifested by their rich albeit budding career history.
Her lens turned toward herself following the birth of her first and only child in 2019. Coming from a place of vulnerability and frailty, she yields to the complex nature of the early parenthood experience and unveils its many unsaid and unseen.
Annie France is a dedicated member of the cultural communities she engages with at regional and national levels. She notably sits on the Board of Directors of CARFAC National, chairs the Board of Directors of the Aberdeen Cultural Centre (where her studio is located), and held the directorship of the artist-run centre Galerie Sans Nom from 2014 to 2023.
Originally from Galaget (Caraquet), she currently lives, mothers, and works as an uninvited guest on the traditional unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaq Peoples / Moncton NB.
