SUMMARY:Exhibit - Bodies Carrying: Traces & Stories
DESCRIPTION:Bodies carry and transmit traces of memories\, sites\, and stories—both as acts of care and as burdens to bear. \nBodies Carrying: Traces & Stories is a twofold conversation taking the form of a group exhibition and a program consisting of workshops\, performances\, and talks. This is an experiment in transforming the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling into a dialogue space that brings together artists and researchers who engage with or reflect on oral history in their work\, from the curatorial process to the mise en œuvre. \nThe exhibition and program explore the traces we carry—the traces of what was willingly or unwillingly passed on\, those that were inflicted\, and the lingering ghosts of what was left behind.  \nThese imprints can be things we hold onto or want to make more visible\, carried through acts of care\, (re)connection\, and resistance. Yet\, these traces also represent the weight of what bodies have borne and still bear. Bodies Carrying: Traces & Stories asks: How do we hold space for both the tenderness and heaviness of what it means to carry? \nExhibition Location \nCOHDS\, 10th Floor – LB-1042; 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd W.\nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal. \nExhibition Hours \nMay 1 – May 16\nOpen daily | 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM \nDates \nMay 5 – May 8\nPlease register for individual events. \nVernissage \nApril 30\, 5 à 7\, Sunroom (LB-1019)\nWith durational performance “I Insist” by Sol Worsnip \nProgram \nMay 5\, 10h-13h\nCorps\, émotions et recherches: une exploration par cartographie corporelle – Atelier \nMay 6\, 12h-14h\nAttuning to Spectralities: Senses\, Whispers\, and Other Connective Membranes – Workshop \nMay 6\, 15h-16h30\nكان حتى ما كان (Once Upon a Place): What Remains of the Halqa?

Their thesis uses oral history to trace the evolution of queer Asian activism in Montreal across generations\, using Chinatown as a case study. Annie holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Université de Montréal\, with a thesis at the Technical University of Munich on inquiry-based exhibition pedagogy\, where they co-developed and co-taught a course on pedagogy in architecture exhibitions. Trained and soon-to-be certified in Philocreation dialogue facilitation\, Annie used these tools to facilitate this exhibition and program through a curatorial dialogue with all contributors.

SUMMARY:The Metabolism of Silence- Bodies Carrying Exhibit Programming
DESCRIPTION:Description by Eve Garnier and Jacynthe Desjardins\nIn a movement-based workshop\, we propose an exploration of relational possibilities and their bodily expression\, anchored in silence(s). Here\, silence is not a rupture but a dynamic space of exchange between individuals sharing the same space-time. \nThe connection between narrator and audience is a key part of any narrative formed during an interview or performance. Beyond words\, what do we\, as receivers\, perceive? Building trust and sharing authority requires thoughtful attention to how we receive stories. The body is not just a passive receiver but an active participant with its own agency. \nThe workshop will develop two distinct approaches: one in pairs and the other in groups. \nIn the first part\, participants will engage in storytelling through movement in pairs\, examining how narration emerges when bodies remain in constant motion. Can movement generate alternative cognitive pathways? We will seek to identify forms of silence that extend beyond the mere absence of words. We will explore the role of the receivers when also in motion; how they interact with the narrator’s entanglement with spatial relationship\, the unfolding story\, and gesture. What\, then\, is the nature of silence in this context? \nThe second part will focus on a group conversation without words\, engaging with the often-unconscious dimensions of interaction. Participants will observe\, sense otherness\, and be perceived by others. What do we see\, project\, or have projected onto us? How do we perceive “the other” within a group\, within space\, and within time? What is the nature of this silence? \nEve Garnier is a Franco-Polish dance artist and researcher\, born and trained in France\, it was\, however\, in Scandinavia and Canada that Eve built a career in dance as a performer\, assistant to creation and teacher. Centered around the relational and experimental potential of the living body in movement\, her artistic and pedagogical reflections are nourished by artists from varied generations and aesthetics. Eve is a Part-time professor at UQAM\, where she teaches technique and interpretation classes. She is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in the INDI program at Concordia University. \nJacynthe Desjardins est une artiste en danse établie à Tiohtià :ke/ Mooniyang/ Montréal\, Jacynthe Desjardins complète un baccalauréat en danse contemporaine à l’Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM\, 2021) où elle aura eu l’occasion de travailler avec de nombreux chorégraphes et artistes de la scène\, dont Frédérick Gravel\, Caroline Laurin-Beaucage\, Danièle Desnoyers et poursuit depuis un parcours en tant qu’interprète et chercheuse. Aussi titulaire d’un diplôme en lutherie de l’école-atelier Bruand\, Jacynthe s’intéresse au lien entre la musique et la matière. Ses interrogations se tournent vers ce dialogue liminal entre corps sonore et corps matière. À travers sa pratique du mouvement\, elle navigue cet échange constant entre physicalité\, sons et vibrations. S’ajoute aussi un intérêt grandissant pour les arts martiaux ainsi qu’envers l’importance de notre héritage culturel en danse. \n\nREGISTRATION \nRegister now. \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.

SUMMARY:Intimate Listening - Bodies Carrying Exhibit Programming
DESCRIPTION:Description by Cristina Alejandra Jimenez Gomez.\nIn an intimate space within the exhibition space\, a copera will interact with volunteer participants who visit this spot individually. Before the interaction begins\, each participant will be given a token amount\, which will be used to exchange stories and typical beverages of the Colombian cafés. The tokens have different values\, and will determine the type of story\, drink and interaction the visitor may have with the copera. After those tokens are consumed\, the next participant is invited to visit the spot. This immersive theatre game delves into the notions of intimate labor\, embodied listening\, and care. \nEvent Requirements: \nThis piece requires one person at a time in the exhibition space. Each person will have around 10 minutes of interaction. For the quality of the piece\, it is requested that participants interact individually as personal stories arise during the conversation\, and those who wish to participate are invited to wait outside the room. \nCristina Alejandra Jimenez Gomez (she/they) is a Colombian interdisciplinary artist and educator developing her PhD studies in the INDI program. She is interested in creative\, transformative and communal experiences that address critical intersectional concerns. Based in Tiohtià:ke – Mooniyang – Montreal since 2019. CA is affiliated with Hexagram\, Milieux-LeParc\, COHDS\, ALLab\, and SenseLab-3e at Concordia University. Editor and workshop facilitator at Kodama Cartonera\, an independent publishing house born in Tijuana\, Mexico\, in 2010. CA’s research-creation approach is performative\, feminist\, and (an)archival. Her perspectives stem from embodied practices as a source of knowledge\, intertwining processes of doing-feeling-thinking. Due to their experience in different theatre troupes\, CA learned about diverse techniques focused on developing research and creative methods for\, in\, and within public spaces and non-conventional stages. Currently\, they are a board member of Teesri Duniya Theatre\, where she has developed two community engagement projects. \n\nEvent language(s): English \nREGISTRATION \nRegister now. \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.
