A creative workshop for families in conjunction with the spring/summer exhibitions
Families are invited to participate in the creative activity T8ni tali kd'aïbna - Here, where we are designed by artist Mélanie O’Bomsawin.
Participants will have the chance to meet artist Mélanie O’Bomsawin, who will lead the workshop for this special occasion in conjunction with the exhibition Otherworlds by Jakob Kudsk Steensen.
This outdoor workshop invites participants to engage in a practice of listening and a sensory walk that will take us to a public park near PHI and close to the St. Lawrence River. Once there, we will awaken our senses to capture what is alive around us and become aware that we ourselves are part of this living network.
Through games of listening, observation, and creation, families will be invited to create a collaborative and sensitive mapping of the ordinary through a practice of shared attention, using drawings and words on tracing paper.
You don’t have to travel far to witness the extraordinary. It’s right here in the present moment, within reach. We just have to pay attention.
In case of rain, an indoor workshop will be offered.
First a mother, then a daughter and granddaughter, Mélanie O’Bomsawin is also a video editor and new media artist. Born to an Abenaki parent and a Québecois parent, she works with video in all its forms to explore her connections with those who came before her and those who will follow. In her practice, she is interested in questions of identity, language, traditions, memory, and transmission. To explore these themes, she works with stage and architectural projections, gallery installations, and cultural mediation. She creates for past and future generations. Mélanie is a member of the Abenaki community of Odanak and currently lives in Tiohtià:ke / Mooniyaang / Montreal.
We’d like to thank the Caisse Desjardins de la Culture for its support of the educational program associated with our 2026 spring-summer exhibitions.
