JUSTINE CHAMBERS

Justine A. Chambers is a dance artist and educator living and working on the unceded Coast Salish territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh Nations in Vancouver, Canada. Her practice is a collaboration with her Black matrilineal heritage, and extends from this continuum and its entanglements with Western contemporary dance and visual arts practices. Her research attends to individual and collective embodied archives, social choreographies of the everyday, and choreography and dance as otherwise ways of being in relation. Chambers’ work has been hosted at galleries, festivals and theatres nationally and internationally including: PuSH Festival, EMPAC, PICA, Toronto Biennial of Art, Agora de la Danse, Libby Leshgold Gallery, CAG, Sophiensaele, Artspeak, The Western Front, The Dance Centre, National Arts Centre, Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery, Art Museum at U of T, Mile Zero Dance, Dancing on the Edge festival, and the Hong Kong Performing Arts Festival. She is an Assistant Professor at the School for Contemporary Arts at SFU, Associate Artist to The Dance Centre and the recipient of the 2025 VIVA award. Chambers is August Tyler-Hite’s mother.
