The In Conversations series brings together curators, artists, scholars, and audiences to critically dive into our broader contemporary cultural condition.
Rooted in the exhibitions and practices presented at the PHI Centre in Montreal, these conversations explore the art and artists whose voices are probing each of our individual roles in our collective social context.

This discussion, in conjunction with the experience Colored: The Unknown Life of Claudette Colvin, presented from February 7 to April 28, 2024, at the PHI Centre, looks at the untold stories of fellow Montrealers through the prism of their belonging to the Black community. This panel sheds light on the stories of modern-day heroes and heroines, who play a key role in creating a more fair and egalitarian society through human rights, grassroots innovation and social justice.
