We also offer an Activity Kit for families and elementary schools. Our Movements resource offers articles, exploration questions and video clips on key themes related to the current exhibition.

Creative Activity
Natacha Clitandre’s artworks allow us to reflect on our surroundings, their uses, and how they could potentially be improved. While they represent the cities many of us live in, her projects don’t present urban spaces as fixed representations, but rather as objects that move and in which we have a defining role.
Reflexive Constructions continues to explore this theme of great importance to the artist by looking at urban development in Montréal, using data from a mirror photogrammetry of Québec. During the creative activity conceived by the artist, participants are invited to participate in exercises of collective construction led by the PHI Foundation’s Education team.
Reflexive Constructions is a public engagement project by artist Natacha Clitandre that takes place in the PHI Foundation’s Education Room between May 3 and September 8, 2024, alongside the exhibitions Sonia Boyce: FEELING HER WAY and Rajni Perera and Marigold Santos: Efflorescence/The Way We Wake.
Activity Kit
This activity kit is addressed to children, youths, and the adults in their lives. It offers explorations of the artworks in our current exhibitions, as well as creative activities. It can be used as a family, in school, or as a community group.
Movements
Through essays and short videos, the Movements educational resource is designed for any audience wishing to develop in depth key concepts explored by the current exhibitions.
Traces
Traces is a public activity created in response to each of the Foundation’s exhibitions, inviting the public to create a short gesture in response to the works presented. The public’s interventions are intended to accumulate over time, bearing the trace of a collective reflection.
