Poirier explores the intersections, overlaps and disconnections between personal memory and others’ versions of events, exposing pitfalls of memory, and the shiftability of history. These ideas manifest as new assemblage works composed from Poirier’s real and fictional memories, as well as her personal and communal stories.

Terra Poirier is a filmmaker turned photographer currently working in analog and other low-fidelity formats to create graphic memoir concerned with memory slippage and distortion. Her image/text work and award-winning films have explored themes of trauma, mothering, poverty and home. Terra’s films have screened internationally, and she has taught video production at the Gulf Islands Film and Television School, Access to Media Education Society and through the Vancouver Queer Film Festival.
