SUMMARY:Olga\, Erika\, & Me
DESCRIPTION:COHDS is partnering with the Montreal Holocaust Museum and the Cummings\nCentre to present the following event\, The Generations After: “Olga\, Erika\, and Me” Podcast at the Montreal Holocaust Museum on Tuesday\, September 9\, 7 pm. \nThe creator of the podcast\, Ilanit-Michele\, and her mother\, Erika Eriksson\, will be in attendance to discuss their experiences as second and third generation descendants of their mother and grandmother\, Olga. Through the podcast\, “Olga\, Erika\, and Me\,” they retrace Olga’s steps based on her writings left to them describing her experience of being part of a loving Jewish family who was torn apart during the Shoah and her life afterwards when she tried to rebuild without them followed by displacement due to the Communist repression of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising. Ilanit-Michele and her mother Erika discuss why this project is of importance: \nIlanit-Michele: “I think originally\, I wanted to do it so that it wasn’t just for you and me. I felt that I had a responsibility to expose Grand-mamma’s story. And I think it’s important.” \nErika: “Holocaust survivor is speaking through you now.” \nIlanit-Michele: “Through her daughter and grand-daughter. And actually walking in her footsteps…” (“Olga\, Erika\, and Me” podcast\, Part 3: Dominoes\, 0:39:50.) \nAs Ilanit-Michel and Erika travel to Hungary\, Poland\, and Israel to better understand Olga’s experience and gather further oral testimony from family and people they meet\, we not only better understand Olga through her words but through the eyes of her descendants. This event will allow us to hear directly from Ilanit-Michele and Erika and will be moderated by CBC Daybreak’s Sarah Dehaies. \nREGISTRATION\nRegister now. \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory. For any questions please contact cohds.chorn@concordia.ca \nLOCATION\nIn-person at the Montreal Holocaust Museum\, 5151 Chem. de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine\, Montréal\, QC H3W 3E8

SUMMARY:Artist Talk:  “Little Burgundy – Evolving Montreal”
DESCRIPTION:with Andrew Jackson \n  \nYou are warmly invited to join us for an artist talk with Andrew Jackson at the McCord Museum\, 690 Sherbrooke St. W. Jackson’s exhibition Little Burgundy – Evolving Montreal is a foray into this south-western district of the city. Over a two-year period\, the photographer documented important landmarks for the Black community and met people who grew up there\, live there or still have ties to the area. The result is an exhibition featuring 61 photographs of the individuals and sites that bear witness to the urban and social transformations that have impacted Little Burgundy. Three hard-hitting yet touching short films capture local residents’ lived experiences. \n  \nAndrew Jackson’s talk will take place from 6:00-6:30 pm\, leaving time both beforehand and afterwards to immerse yourself into this beautiful exhibit that moved some of us to tears earlier this summer. Please note that the McCord Museum offers free admission to selected exhibitions\, including “Little Burgundy\,” on Wednesday evenings after 5 pm. \nThe exhibition also features some twenty objects and images selected by Andrew Jackson from the Museum’s collection. These artefacts\, juxtaposed with contemporary objects loaned by residents\, create a dialogue between the past and the present. \nThrough this project\, Andrew Jackson exposes the duality involved in designating a place or neighbourhood as a “Black space.” For Black people\, it invokes a sense of security\, freedom and belonging\, while for non-Black persons it conveys a negative image. As Jackson reflects: “When city spaces\, such as Little Burgundy\, are designated as Black spaces\, there are profound implications for Black occupants. This is especially true in North America\, where historically\, in non-Black minds at least\, Black spaces have not existed as places of acceptance or celebration of difference. Rather\, they have been linked to notions of failure – notions that become catalysts for urban renewal\, gentrification and the ensuing erasure of Black communities.” \n  \nAndrew Jackson is a British-Canadian photographer based in Montreal since 2019. His practice is developed at the intersection of photography and text and\, most recently\, focuses on notions of family\, transnational migration\, displacement\, trauma and collective memory. He recently published the monograph From a Small Island\, the first chapter of his ongoing series Across the Sea Is a Shore\, a collection of works that explore the intergenerational legacies of migration from the Caribbean to the UK. \nAndrew Jackson has a history of developing platforms that provide opportunities for traditionally excluded groups to engage with photography. In 2021 he created a public engagement project in collaboration with the DESTA Black Youth Network\, located in Little Burgundy\, which resulted in a group exhibition shown at the PHI Foundation. His works are held in public collections that include the United Kingdom’s Government Art Collection\, the Permanent Collection of the New Art Gallery Walsall and the Autograph ABP and Light Work collections. His photographs have also appeared in such publications as the Los Angeles Times\, The Guardian\, the Financial Times and The New Statesman. \n  \nREGISTRATION \nRegister now \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory. For any questions please contact cohds.chorn@concordia.ca \nLOCATION \nIn-person\, McCord Museum\, 690 Sherbrooke St. West. Please note that the artist talk will take place in the gallery space of “Little Burgundy – Evolving Montreal” in the McCord Museum. \nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.

SUMMARY:Does Listening Heal?
DESCRIPTION:With Constanza Ramírez Molano and Luis C. Sotelo \nHeld in Spanish with consecutive interpretation by Franklin R. Bonivento. \n  \nThis event will take the form of a conversation in which Colombian artist and researcher Constanza Ramírez Molano presents three of her recent works. The dialogue will be moderated by Luis C. Sotelo\, director of the Acts of Listening Lab at Concordia University. \nThe conversation will feature: \n• VIVIFICAR (2015) — a performance that asks What is enforced disappearance? Presented as an orchestra in a shopping mall in Bogotá\, the piece makes visible the crime of enforced disappearance in Colombia through the contrast between everyday public space and collective artistic expression. \n• Volver a pasar por el corazón (2018) — a project that invites participants to identify with those who have been disappeared by engaging with their musical tastes\, transforming memory into an intimate and shared listening experience. \n• Subversiones (2020) — an exhibition hosted in the Virtual Memory Gallery presenting fourteen stories of enforced disappearance in Colombia. “Fourteen stories of courage\, Colombians who inhabit the world deprived of a body but not of a soul.” These narratives\, told by family members of the disappeared who were forced into exile for seeking their loved ones\, explore what it means to continue the search from afar. \n\nConstanza Ramírez Molano is a Colombian artist\, researcher\, and producer whose work explores the intersections of art\, psychoanalysis\, and memory. She develops artistic and audiovisual projects that give symbolic form to experiences of violence\, with a particular focus on enforced disappearance in Colombia. She holds a degree in Community Social Pedagogy from the Pontifical Javeriana University in Bogotá. She is a founding member of the “Otras Voces” association. Through her collaborations with organizations of families of victims of enforced disappearance\, she has supported communication and outreach strategies that use art to make this crime visible and to reflect on its impact on society as a whole. Her artistic practice includes works such as the video installation “Doble Oficio por la Entrega Digna\,” (Bogotá\, 2012) the performance “Vivificar\,” (Bogotá\, 2015) and the acts of memory “Volver a pasar por el corazón: la banda sonora de los desaparecidos en Colombia.” (Bogotá\, 2018). She has also co-created the campaign “Aquí falta alguien” with the International Committee of the Red Cross\, developed the digital memory space “Historia de Memorias\,” directed the exhibition “Voces desde la otra orilla” (2021) at the Virtual Art Gallery\, and produced the documentary “a-bordando la memoria” (Bogotá\, 2023). She is currently responsible for the communications area of the “Otras Voces”  \n\n  \nREGISTRATION \nRegister now or online. \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.
