Installation and workshop at INTERMISSIONS: Social Installation in the park, Maison de la culture Côte-des-Neiges in the park Jean-Brillant
Based on the Mexican tradition of papel picado (symbolizing the wind), this work depicts some of the birds that migrate between Quebec and Mexico and even as far as South America, and that we saw during our lockdown in the summer of 2020 in Montreal. Connecting personal stories with social, cultural, and environmental issues, these two projects explore the challenges and also opportunities that came with the new normal. They invite us to look beyond the restrictions of physical distancing, reflecting on the current meaning of migration, identity and social belonging. Incorporating both the resilience and vulnerability of migrant populations in this city, this work seeks to make visible and celebrate Montreal's cultural and natural diversity.
