MOMENTA Biennale d’art contemporain happens every two years in Montréal, a not-to-be-missed event that brings out the public into the city’s museums, galleries, and artist-run centres. Activities include exhibitions, public events, and educational workshops featuring both local and international artists whose works inspire curiosity and reflection.

MOMENTA is partnering with visionaries in film and video to offer a program of videos that inspire engaged, sensitive reflections on society. This multi-part program, created by guest curators and our partners, presents the work of more than twenty international contemporary artists, both emerging and established. The screenings will be in the original language, accompanied, as needed, by French subtitles. Discussions following the sessions will be held in French.

A true benchmark of contemporary art, MOMENTA is back with In Praise of the Missing Image, starting September 10, 2025. Presented in 11 exhibition spaces across the city, the Biennale’s programming will form a dialogue among the work of 23 Canadian and international artists, representing 14 countries, 4 provinces, and 5 Indigenous communities. From one exhibition to the next, artists will explore hybridization, fluidity, and fugitivity to create emancipatory images that reveal marginalized or erased narratives.
Its activities include exhibitions, public events and educational workshops that allow visitors to discover artists from here and elsewhere whose works stimulate curiosity.
Get ready to explore and discover an inspiring program that promises an unforgettable visual experience in Montreal’s museums, galleries and artist-run centers!
