Pluridisciplinary artist, writer and educator Valerie LeBlanc (b. Halifax, NS) has presented her work throughout Canada, the United States, Europe and Australia. Launching the MediaPackBoard (MPB) portable screening/performance device in 2005 facilitated the subsequent presentation of a wide range of projects in locations across Canada and in France. Valerie co-wrote Everglades with Daniel H. Dugas, published in 2018 by Les Éditions Prise de parole.
She has sometimes curated the work of other artists into the MPB and collaborated with art centres and the public to animate the device. In September 2012 the MPB outing, Street/Screen Encounter was part of the World Portable Gallery Convention in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
