Dérive, exhibit
Fresh Paint Gallery, extended to October 25
You have extra time to check out Dérive! The exhibit has been extended until the 25. A group show featuring Nelio, MSHL and THTF, it is a response to their 10 day collective residency in Montreal. Don’t miss their take on our city.
Montreal nous accueille, exhibit
Hotel de ville de Montreal, until October 28
The Goethe-Institut, in collaboration with the City of Montreal, La Maisonnée, le Carrefour de Ressources en interculturel, le Centre Lartigue, the Bibliothèque Frontenac and the Bibliothèque Marc-Favreau, hosted workshops with Migrantas, a Berlin-based collective that uses public and urban spaces to make the migrant and transcultural experience visible through art. The fruits of their labour are now on display. They’ll also be holding “public interventions” downtown until November 30.
