HISTORY AND VISION
Sarah created Projet commun with the aim of experimenting with new methods for developing cultural content and producing exhibitions in an era of efficient communication technologies, accessibility of public spaces and the limits imposed by competitive markets. Concerned by the democratization of the arts, she is interested in collaborative approaches and inclusive processes. With the members of the programming committee, she is leading a reflection on the most equitable and efficient modes of operation to formulate and present quality cultural proposals in addition to sparking encounters that are both improbable and rich between artists, curators, varied audiences and environments. Projet commun is therefore envisaged as an experimental, open and evolving device which wishes not only to participate in the influence of democratic practices, but also to promote conscious artistic work.
It is important to emphasize that the activities of the Projet commun organization take place mainly in Tiohtià:ke / Montreal, an ancestral territory that has long served as a place of life, gatherings and exchanges between indigenous peoples, notably the Kanien’kehá:ka nation. We honor, respect and recognize those nations who have never ceded their rights or sovereign authority over the lands and waters where Projet commun was founded and continues to evolve.
