Margaret Dragu works in video, installation, web/analog publication & performance art. Spanning relational, durational, interventionist, and community-based practices, she has shown her work in Canada, USA & Europe. Dragu was the recipient of the Governor General’s Award for Visual and Media Arts in 2012, Éminence Grise (2012) for 7a*11d, and, in 2000, the first artist in FADO Performance Art Centre’s publication series Canadian Performance Art Legends. Margaret celebrated her 50th year as a working artist in 2022. Her favourite art-making material is still the body despite, or because of, her bionic status as a grateful owner of two hip replacements.

For Peggy Baker Dance Projects: Margaret’s original works Canajun Burgers and Undecided were distilled and adapted for the stage play Beautiful Renegades.
