People and organizations who work in or support community service at the local and global level are often asked does your work make a difference. Without tools to measure that difference, it becomes harder to motivate action and get support. This interactive panel discussion brings together experts in the community (MyPeg and the Compassion Index) and global indexes (Global Peace Index) designed to highlight indicators that can be used to promote action and positive peace.

The purpose of Blossoms from Ash is to make the world aware of the Rohingya, the trials they have been through in their rightful homeland, and the challenges they face today. This film seeks to move audiences around the world to raise their collective voice about the crimes perpetrated by the government of Myanmar, and to pressure the governments protecting Myanmar from international action. Further, this documentary seeks to advance the efforts of the NGOs helping the Rohingya people, primarily by raising funds for improvements to the educational facilities serving the refugee children.

In the last couple of years, there has been a push by artists and activists to have Emancipation Day — the day that Slavery was abolished throughout the British Empire in 1843 — recognized as an official holiday. To celebrate International Day of Peace, Welcome Collective is collaborating with POP Montreal and Emancipation Arts to shine a light on this effort by hosting an online panel to discuss the importance of Emancipation and Peace. The discussion will be facilitated and led by Ngozi Paul who is an award winning stage and screen actress, writer, director and producer who is committed to telling stories from an Afro-centric perspective through her socially and culturally innovative work. The artists and activists on the panel will discuss what emancipation means for them, how they are fighting for it and embodying it through their art and their activism, and how we can all embody these values in our own lives.

This webinar will address the notion of “living together” in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possibility of rehabilitating this idea, one which has been overlooked by more than 15 years of identity debates in Québec. We will propose several points of discussion on lockdown and re-opening in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic as a potential for rethinking the social bond. First, we will examine the political models of planning for living together adopted by different States. Secondly, we will attempt to ask how living together matters from a societal perspective and to question the role of cities in rebuilding social ties. Finally, we will propose an exploration of situations and concrete solutions for imagining life after the pandemic.

Recent events have shaken up the status quo in the contemporary art ecosystem and call for a greater awareness of the biases, individual and collective, associated with systemic racism, as well as an understanding of their genesis.
The duty to consult is of importance, and this is therefore the mission of this discussion panel, which will first aim to discuss these realities, leading to the identification of the needs behind the instigation of truly inclusive practices in the field of contemporary art. Subsequently, this conversation will allow the setting up of initiatives helping to grow and improve the visibility and place offered to contemporary art players from diverse backgrounds.
The panel, presented by Résidence, will bring together a variety of actors of the contemporary art ecosystem, such as Cheryl Sim, Ph. D., Curator and Managing Director at PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art in Montréal; Diane Gistal, researcher, independent curator and founder of the Montréal organization celebrating Afro-descendant cultures and history Nigra Iuventa; visual artist Stanley Février, who was recently awarded the Prix en art actuel du Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, as well as visual artist, curator and galerist Rad Hourani.

From Normandy in the occupied zone to Provence in the free zone, the exhibition Ports of Exile, Home Harbours reconstructs the fates of French and European Jewish men and women who were hunted down by Nazi occupiers and accomplices or by the Vichy regime and whose paths ended in deportation or exile in Canada. It also relates stories of resilience and hope in the long journey toward exile, reconstruction, reparations, and the restitution of stolen heritage.
This exhibition was organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, La Fabrique des Savoirs in Elbeuf, the Musée d’Histoire de Marseille, and the Montreal Holocaust Museum, thanks to the support of FRAME (French American Museum Exchange).
