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 Calendar
Explore misunderstood urban plants, often falsely called “weeds,” and discover their incredible resilience. During an exploratory walk, you’ll see these plants growing in cracks in the concrete, imagine their life, and invent evocative names for them. When you return to the workshop, you’ll make an illustrated herbarium, mixing drawing, collage, and writing, to describe the beauty and quiet strength of these survivors. It’s a playful, poetic, and sensitive workshop that invites you to cast a new eye on nature in the city and revive your capacity for being amazed at life.
From the exhibitions Rosa Luxemburg Resistant Herbarium by artist Paula Valero Comín, and The Matriarch: Unravelled Threads by artist Mallory Lowe Mpoka
