École Le Vitrail, Montreal
Accompanied by leisure coordinator Assia Bourhim, students from École Le Vitrail took part in a series of lunchtime meetings during which reflections and conversations were held on the artistic work of Charlotte Ghomeshi, the curatorial practice of Joséphine Rivard and the organization Projet commun. It is around Charlotte's film, writings and several deep discussions that precious moments of sharing have been created. Themes as varied as the "chosen family", identity, curating exhibitions, staging and camera shots fueled an articulate, touching and engaging message.
DISSEMINATION PARTNER : PARC OFFSITE
