Bombardier graduate scholarship in visual arts and participated in the Symposium international d'art contemporain de Baie Saint-Paul, the Rencontres internationales de la photographie in Gaspésie and the Rencontres photographies de Kamouraska.

Since August 2020, Sara A.Tremblay has been sharing videos and photographs on Instagram as part of a project named Tout t’empêche. Still in progress, it was born from a reflection on the pressure to create and on the fact that her refuge, the countryside, has now become her main residence. A white canvas installed in the open air serves as a pretext, a circumscribed and parametrize zone; if not, when should we stop photographing, accumulating? Still lifes with baroque airs, light and biting contrasts, self-portraits markers of important events, dog, cat, immortal flowers and fragile birds; she documents her harvest, which has become her main subject on this land, a theater that comes alive with the seasons, thanks to her gardening interventions. In the exhibition Poids, plumes, she confronts images taken from her daily life (apparently enchanting) and objects, works and artefacts from the recent past, which reveal certain heaviness that life in the countryside, cannot alleviate.
