Participate in a workshop combining art and philosophy devoted to Black identity, to the gaze that falls upon Black women, and to the domestic space as a site of power, intimacy, and resistance. Through conversation and looking at artworks and inspiring texts, explore the media stereotyping, sexualization, and invisibilization of Black bodies. Then reappropriate these images in a creative way to celebrate strength, sisterhood, and empowerment. A space for creation, reflection, and self-representation.

Register to our workshop, in collaboration with Exeko, here.

A sensory workshop for creative exploration with different bioplastics and natural pigments on transparent plastic surfaces. Each participant makes a trace, an image, or a message that will disappear: melt in heat, dissolve in water, or even be eaten. A poetic and playful reflection on image, material, and their ephemeral nature. Each creative gesture made in my mobile kitchen will be filmed live and projected on a canvas in the back, offering an immersive and living video memory. This workshop offers a poetic and critical reflection on the image, in a world saturated with matter and representations, by exploring the borders between body, screen, and disappearance.

Let’s explore the sounds around us! Enjoy becoming the composer of a unique sonar world! Without using a musical instrument, participants will experiment with creating sound using gestures, everyday objects, or voice, then imagine a way to represent it visually through an inventive and personal musical score. The workshop will conclude with a pooling of the scores and a group performance of a short musical piece. Through this accessible and playful creative moment, participants will listen differently, express themselves freely, and discover sound composition. No musical experience required!

This workshop is inspired by the works of Mallory Lowe Mpoka and Paula Valero Comín presented at Fonderie Darling. During an exploratory walk in the neighbourhood, the multidisciplinary artist Annie France Leclerc will introduce a few “weeds,” remarkable for their ability to grow in the most inhospitable places, to detoxify soil, and to provide care. In a writing workshop, participants will be encouraged to reflect on their relationship with plants in a process sensitive to extraction and waste. By working with materials found on site and with the parts of plants that speak to them, they will create a unique visual composition combining photography and writing.

Called “the Creator’s Game” in the Indigenous nations where it originated, lacrosse is an ancient sport that works both the mind and the body. It is also known as the “medicine game,” for when the players are in a good emotional state it acts as a transformative healing experience. Using lacrosse practices and personal experiences of winning and losing, participants will learn to recognize how emotions feel in their body and to develop their sporting spirit in a guided meditation based on the Haudenousaunee concept of Ka'nikonhri:io: good mind.

Through photography, sound, drawing, and installation, reinvent urban and natural spaces that are often invisible or neglected.

This workshop is intended to be a space open to all shapes and types of bodies, and it aims to develop empathy for physical diversity.

Connect with the artworks through motion. These guided visits place body language at the core of the experience. Through motion, you connect with yourself and others, with the works and the space. You don’t need to know how to dance, you just have to be ready to move. The artworks become a source of inspiration: a shape, a texture, a theme, or an emotion may trigger a gesture, a movement, a pose. Guided throughout the visit, participants are free to interpret the artworks according to how they feel, their abilities, or their imagination. These visits are based on feminist, queer, decolonial, and anti-ableist approaches that intersect around the notion of “situated knowledge”: a way of exploring art starting from your own body, your experience, and your point of view.

In this workshop, you’ll explore urban landscapes in transformation through a unique sensory path. Walking in public areas, you will be led to attend to details that generally pass unnoticed: textures, sounds, lights, odours, ambiences. Each participant will collect these elements in the form of traces (notes, sketches, recordings, rubbings, etc.) and use them to compose a sensitive and personal mapping of the territory explored. This immersive experience, at the intersection of art and observation, refreshes how we perceive and live in the city.

In this creative workshop, participants design a dollhouse in order to explore relational dynamics within the domestic space. Each imagined room becomes the scene of affective ties, tensions, memories, or shared silences. Through a conversation and a drawing workshop, participants reflect on the roles, communication, and intimacy that shape life at home. The workshop becomes a space of symbolic expression in which we probe family relations, along with the norms and emotions that inhabit our abodes. Here is a sensitive, playful way to give shape to the invisible things that structure daily life.

This two-and-a-half-hour workshop, hosted by the artists Mallory Lowe Mpoka and Nadia Bunyan—founder of the NPO Growing ARC—explores natural dyeing of recycled textiles. Together we will weave narratives of heritage and transmission, linking together native plants of Canada, the Caribbean, and Africa. Participants will learn dyeing techniques, inspired by Lowe Mpoka’s work for her exhibition The Matriarch: Unravelled Threads, with materials such as sumac, red clay, hibiscus, and rose madder. Along with the practical aspects, the workshop will address the curative and spiritual properties of different plants used for dyeing, offering a deeper connection to ancestral knowledge and traditional practices. We will also explore tannins and resist-dyeing techniques, combining artistic expression, culture, and botanical wisdom.

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.
