Simon Paradis

Researcher
UQAM

For 25 years, I have been a cultural worker with a multidisciplinary background. I am interested in partnerships between different ecosystems, government relations, and solidarity in philanthropic endeavors.

I have been a theater producer (Singulier Pluriel, Théâtre de l’intime collective, Un et un font mille). I have worked to promote the arts and literature (Librairie Monet), including nine years as executive director (airelibre.ca). I have been a manager and head of partnerships and funding (Diversité artistique Montréal – Missions Exeko).

As a novelist, I draw parallels between real-life experiences and fictional ones, contemporary history and “certain family memories.” I have been a member of Conversations philanthropiques en culture since 2018.
