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
For the first time, the Festival du Nouveau Cinéma and MOMENTA are joining forces to create a joint program focusing on the artistic and cinematographic practices of Caroline Monnet and Valentin Noujaïm. MOMENTA invites you to discover the La Défense trilogy by Valentin Noujaïm at Cinémathèque québécoise on Friday, October 10. The event is divided in two parts: the book launch at 5 p.m., free and open to all; a screening at 7 p.m. followed by a discussion with the artist, moderated by Emilie Poirier at 8 p.m, tickets required.
Meet the artist and photographer Martin Akwiranoron Loft and benefit from his deep mastery of photography and sensitivity to images. In this workshop designed for beginners, participants will make their own cameras, develop their own negatives in a darkroom, and use their phone to transform their negative into a positive image. They will also have a chance to try large-format portrait photography.
Please note that this workshop will be given in English and is for participants aged 16 and older.
