Poetry Readings by Denise Desautels, Louise Dupré, Charlotte Francoeur, and Mélissa Labonté

We invite you to join us for tea in the heart of Laure Prouvost’s exhibition Oma-je, and in the company of four poets: Denise Desautels, Louise Dupré, Charlotte Francoeur, and Mélissa Labonté. Through a collage of poems and conversations, they will explore the notion of filiation as feminine, and the notion of transmission.

Prouvost writes: “we all walk where the shadow becomes that of a child, walking more and more towards childhood.” In this original performance, the four artists re-draw the notion of heritage in a game of poetic intermingling.

Filiations is part of Dissections, an ongoing event series presented in conjunction with our exhibition program. Through each of its iterations, Dissections aims to generate interdisciplinary dialogue and foster a renewed engagement with contemporary art through a multiplicity of perspectives.

Concept and readings: Denise Desautels, Louise Dupré, Charlotte Francoeur, Mélissa Labonté

At the invitation of: Daniel Fiset

This event will be held in French.
