Louise Liliefeldt is a Toronto/​Tkaronto-based performance artist born in Cape Town, South Africa. Her work is predominantly concerned with the politics of identity as it intersects with gender, race and class. She examines the cultural conventions of spectatorship and the links between emotional/​psychological states and physical experience. The methodology of her performance art practice is shaped by the notion of always taking into consideration the significance of changes in circumstance and physical space.

Louise was a cofounder and member of 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art. She is currently a member of a group of artists working on art concerned with caregiving and caregivers. She has presented her work across Canada, the United States, The Netherlands, Poland, Turkey, and Wales. The artist also held the position of Sessional Lecturer I, teaching Performance Art at the University of Toronto for 7 years in the early 2000s.
