Here: ZACHARY GOUGH
"I am honoured to be named the 2025 Pierre Lassonde Artist in Residence at Mount Allison University School of Fine Art. For the the residency I am exploring questions of housing justice through the development of a body of work that dissects / troubles the structural injustices of the social relationships within our housing sector. For the residency my focus is on the creation of a series of art objects, images, scores and videos. I’m also focused on connecting with folks in the area and supporting their movements towards housing justice"

" Gough works collaboratively and responsively with other artists, community groups, and organizations to promote alternative economic systems. He often uses participatory and immaterial media, such as radio and performance, to address materialist concerns, such as labour, power, debt, housing, education, and liberation. Along with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Mount Allison, he is a graduate of the art and social practice MFA program at Portland State University in Oregon and completed year-long artist residencies at JL Ilsley High School and at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design through the Art and Activism group. He has taught classes at Portland State University in Oregon and at NSCAD University in Halifax, NS.
During his time at Mount Allison, he is also facilitating a series of workshops for Fine Arts students that focus on carpentry, mutual aid, and house music. They will collaboratively build a sculpture that points to other ways of organizing the housing system.
“It’s a kind of monument to a set of relationships that prioritize housing as a form of care over housing as a form of individual investment,” says Gough.
The Pierre Lassonde Artist-in Residence Program was created in 2021. "
