Pascaline Le Bras

Pascaline is a photographer, videographer, and art mediator based in Toronto. Her practice is built on three pillars: photography and video, through portraits, documentaries, and short films — three of which have been presented at the Cinéfranco festival; arts education, by leading creative workshops for youth, adults, and seniors; and Pasky Studio, her rental and creative space located in the heart of Baldwin Village, which serves as a meeting place for artists and entrepreneurs.
Notably, she filmed a dance retreat in Brazil, and a mentorship in 2022 nurtured her practice of screendance, a hybrid form connecting film and movement. Driven by authenticity, collaboration, and empowerment, her work builds bridges between personal expression and community connection.
