SUMMARY:COHDS Storytelling Festival Exhibits (October 6-9\, 2026)
DESCRIPTION:COHDS Storytelling Festival: Festival Exhibitions\nOctober 6–9 \n\n\nExplore the festival exhibitions running throughout the COHDS Storytelling Festival from October 6–9\, 2026. Featuring film screenings\, podcasts\, sound\, touch\, and creative works\, these exhibitions invite visitors to engage with stories and creative practices across the festival. \n\n\n\nThresholds of Sound and Touch: Listening to Land\, Labour\, and Memory\nWith Russell Gendron and Martín Giraldo-Hoyos \nThis experimental panel brings together two research-creation projects to explore oral history as a sensorial\, embodied practice: Russell Gendron’s exploration of the extractive forestry economies of British Columbia\, and Martín Giraldo-Hoyos’s collaborative project with Black peasant communities in the agroforestry landscapes of Colombia. Rather than deliver conventional papers\, we invite participants into an immersive listening environment staged in COHDS’s Acts of Listening Lab. Curated from field recordings of soundscapes and interview fragments that evoke a movement through temperate and tropical sylvian spaces\, the installation is paired with tactile objects (quilts made from forestry workwear\, and materials from the material culture of Colombian peasant communities) to open sensorial thresholds of sound and touch. The experience invites participants to sense and reflect on alternative modes of listening: how attending with the body\, not only the ear\, might renew our understanding of land\, labour\, and communities enduring within and against extractive systems. \n\n  \nA Graphic Memoir: A Family’s Experience with Autism\nWith Mona Sharma\, introduced by Shira Avni \nMona Sharma\, a Montreal visual artist and graduate of Concordia’s MFA program\, will introduce her graphic memoir concerning her family’s experience with autism. As Mona notes\, “it was a weird irony of life that someone who talks as much as I do gave birth to two sons who are non-verbal. The experience has been incredible and I am putting the story down in the best way I know how.” A selection of the drawings of this forthcoming graphic memoir will be on display in the COHDS Media Lab. \n  \nFilm Screening – Living Rooms: une pièce partagée \nWith Naila Kuhlmann (project lead)\, Naomi Silver-Vézina (filmmaker)\, Anna Vigeland (RA)\, and the Piece of Mind Collective \nHow do the unique standpoints through which we inhabit our bodies and move through life cause barriers to connecting and relating with one another? Which of our bodily\, sensory\, and emotional experiences elude words—and how might live arts and technologies offer entry points into those unspoken worlds? Living Rooms: une pièce partagée was a participatory research-creation project that brought together circus and new media artists\, people living with Parkinson’s disease\, caregivers\, and neuroscientists to explore how interactive technologies and immersive performance might help us connect and relate across mindbody differences. Together\, we co-created the fabric of an immersive theatre experience in which audiences are invited into a series of multi-sensory and multidisciplinary live arts vignettes that staged stories from circus\, Parkinson’s\, and their intersections. Anchored in the metaphor of the body as a house\, each “room” of the promenade-type performance brought to life angles of our research process through performing bodies\, physical objects\, audio clips\, written participant citations\, and prototypes of technological interfaces (e.g. biosensors\, motion capture\, wearable tech and virtual reality)\, prompting reflection on the ways we inhabit the body and how we might better connect across differences. A pivotal point within this one-and-a-half-year project was the exploration enabled through two week-long residencies in the Acts of Listening Lab in Spring 2025. Facilitating the listening\, sharing\, and creating from often difficult stories was at the heart of this participatory research process\, and was shaped both by the affordances of the physical space and the rich context of collective meaning- making at COHDS. \n  \nThe project was made possible thanks to support from COHDS; Coeur des sciences UQAM; Mitacs; Inter-génie; HUPR: Research Centre for Human Potential; Healthy Brains\, Healthy Lives (HBHL); and the Centre for Research on Brain\, Language and Music (CRBLM). – Naila Kuhlmann (Lead Researcher / Centre HUPR)\, Anna Vigeland (Research Assistant / COHDS Student Affiliate)\, Piece of Mind Collective Video by Naomi Silver-Vézina \n  \nArt Installation – The Soul of the Soul الروح†روح† Ruh Al-Ruh: Stitching as Resistance and Remembering Lives\nWith Nasim Mogharab and Shahrzad Arshadi \nThe Soul of the Soul (Ruh Al-Ruh) is our quilt making and storytelling collective\, started in November 2023 in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal—one month after Israel’s attack on Gaza—by women feminists and social justice activists\, all originally from the SWANA region. From the very beginning\, many individuals joined the collective\, and our work quickly expanded beyond Montreal\, reaching Trois-Rivières. In the past two years\, Ruh Al-Ruh not only witnessed and testified into genocide in Gaza\, but war and massacre in Sudan\, Iran\, Lebanon\, Rojava and many other regions. In contrast to all the darkness imposed on people from different parts of the world\, our time together was reflective\, kind\, permissive and full of love and respect. The soul of the soul provided an intimate space to listen and to be heard as we collectively weaved stories\, memories\, hopes and dreams. We travelled with our threads\, needles\, and fabrics to engage young and old in various communities\, and collectively created more than 200 stitching pieces in red\, black\, green and white\, each carrying a unique personal and political story\, all crafted with love and care. We are at the installation phase of this large project\, creating five-meter pieces of all individual pieces\, that will be hanged from the ceiling from different parts of the room and coming down to the ground like a tree and connecting to each other through roots that can symbolize solidarity and unity between people and struggles in all places. Last March\, we were part of a panel called “Creative Strategies of Joy in Oral History\,” where we presented our project as part of the 2026 Emerging Scholars Symposium at COHDS. This time\, however\, we wish to take part in COHDS’s 20th birthday celebration by presenting the actual artwork as an installation for the Storytelling Festival. In some Arabic dictionaries\, the word “Ruh” (Soul) is sometimes translated as the “breath of life.” As we came together to create\, to remember\, to tell\, and keep alive hope\, love\, connection and patience. With each stitch\, we tried to bear witness and breathe life into an untold and unfinished story. The final presentation of all the individual pieces is our collective message of hope\, unselective solidarity\, love and perseverance. \n  \nPodcast – Stories of Migration \nWith Eliana Hussain \nMelita moved first\, escaping her grief at the death of her father. Domingo followed soon after\, escaping the aftermath of the April Revolution. They came together in Civil Rights era New York City. – This project recounts the narrative of Melita and Domingo’s immigration to the United\nStates in a 15 to 20-minute podcast accompanied by photographs. As a work of research-creation\, this piece examines their lives in the Dominican Republic and the events that led each of them to uproot their lives. It is supported by oral history interviews and archival audio that anchor the story in time and place. This podcast reflects the conference’s call to look back on twenty years of oral history and creative practice while exploring new avenues for the field. By combining a podcast structure with archival photographs\, my project models the kind of innovative cross-media presentation format that makes oral history exciting. Testimony from people close to Melita and Domingo honors the field’s foundational commitment to the first-person voice as historical evidence\, while photographs help provide an intimate connection with the audience.\nThroughout the podcast\, story structure\, sound design\, and pacing will be used to shape the narrative into an engaging listening experience. Because the story is told through the memories of others\, this project also grapples with questions about representation and interpretation that sit at the core of oral history: How do you honor a story when the subjects are no longer able to speak for themselves? By reconstructing a migration story after the subjects have passed\, this project explores an approach that might prove suitable for researchers and others to draw on when working with family histories. It explores the potential of the podcast form as a scholarly medium\, while contributing to a growing body of research-creation that treats genealogy and memory as legitimate sites of historical inquiry and opens space for future questions about how personal histories connect to larger political ruptures\, and how communities pass down memory across generations and borders. \n  \nFilm Screening – “Fatness as a Method (for Movement and Subversion)” \nWith Magdalena Hutter \nSince 2023 I’ve been recording conversations and filming movement sequences with fat performers to think about fatness as a method – both for making movement art with and about fat bodies and for how I as a fat queer documentary filmmaker portray that art in moving images. Fatness\, as an Othered\, queer embodiment set up in opposition to a supposed ‘norm’\, can serve to highlight the constructedness of naturalized structures of normativity\, particularly regarding the perception\, valuation\, and treatment of bodies. Using fatness as a lens can bring into focus oppressive social structures and dynamics and help to zoom in on the ways in which these structures are embedded in and – crucially – affirmed by choices regarding representation and aesthetics in cultural objects. In this way\, considering fatness while looking at artworks and the processes through which they are created can provide opportunities for the development of frameworks for art-making that are not only not in the (conscious or unconscious) service of oppressive structures\, but that are actively\ninvested in dismantling them. Focusing on the work of and my conversations with fat queer artists Cindy Baker and Liz Rosenfeld\, the video I propose to screen as part of the COHDS Storytelling Festival explores the particular fields of tension that emerge between some of the most prevalent narratives about fat bodies – laziness\, slowness\, lack of productivity –\, the violent regimes of body control that so fundamentally affect both fat and dancing bodies\, and thinking around spectacle\, virtuosity\, and effort. What are fat approaches to subverting constricting dynamics and narratives and how can ideas of porousness as care and openness to failure as a form of access support them? \n  \nTuesday\, October 6 – Friday\, October 9\n\n\n\n\nTime\nCOHDS\nThe 4th Space\n\n\n \n\n10:00–16:00\n\n\nThreshold of Sound and Touch\n\n(ALLab)\n\n\n \n\n10:30–17:30\n\nA Graphic Memoir: A Family’s Experience with Autism\n(Media Lab)\n\n\nLiving Room: une pièce partagée\n\nFilm Screening\n\n \n\n10:00–16:00\n\n\nThe Soul of the Soul\n\n\n \n\n10:30–17:30\n\n\n\nPodcast\n\nStories of Migration\n\n \n\n10:30–17:30\n\n\n\n“Fatness as Method”\n\nFilm Screening

SUMMARY:Together-mess: Co-Crafting Family Stories Through Movement
DESCRIPTION:Picture credits: Eve Garnier\, on the picture: Anita Saj\, Signe Waldorff\, Carina Raffel\, Fatima Cerqueira and Martin Bélanger. \n  \nWith Eve Garnier \n  \nThis participatory workshop invites participants into the “hows” of Eve’s research-creation master NURT/FLOW\, exploring family stories as a third-generation descendant through dance practices. Conceived as a laboratory\, the space is filled with objects\, and invitations to experiment\, touch\, sense\, and play. Through movement explorations\, DIY strategies\, and silent exchanges\, we will investigate memory\, transmission\, relationships\, and the ethical challenges of engaging with stories and traces of those who are no longer there. Together\, we will explore what it might be to ‘feel’ a story\, to share it\, and co-craft it through the moving body. Open to all bodies and abilities\, each participant will be invited to engage according to their own abilities\, curiosity\, and desire. No dance experience is required. \nIf you would like to participate or learn more about the workshop\, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. You can reach the facilitator at: egarnierchapel@gmail.com \n  \nThe experiential\, exploratory\, and relational potential of dance is a deep source of inspiration in Eve Garnier‘s work. She is particularly interested in the power of the moving body as a carrier of stories and a mediator of lived experience. Based in Montreal / Tiohtià:ke / Mooniyang\, she explores dance as a performer\, teacher\, researcher and artistic processes support. Of Franco-Polish heritage\, she developed her career first in Denmark and later in Québec. Some influancial artistic collaborations are among others Marie Chouinard\, Dominique Porte\, Martin Bélanger\, Marie-Claire Forté\, David Dorfman (USA)\, Peter Mika (Slovenia/Spain)\, Tim Feldmann (Denmark)\, or Opera Royal of Denmark. She currently teaches technique\, partnering\, and interpretation at the Department of Dance at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM)\, while pursuing a Master’s degree in the INDI program at Concordia University. Using a research-creation approach that combines dance and oral history\, she explores how dance and movement practices can permeate\, transform\, and transmit family histories. \n  \n\n\nREGISTRATION \nRegister now with this link \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.

SUMMARY:Listening Circles: Telling Interview Stories (Monthly)
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Anna Sheftel\, Stacey Zembrzycki and Kay Ponthieux Stern\, who are Kitchen Table Collective Members \n\n\nCreating open\, safe\, generative\, and generous spaces to tell interview stories is vital to thinking through the varied challenges that oral historians face in the field. These monthly listening circles\, led by an intergenerational group of practitioners\, will enable COHDS community members to build relationships while they share the issues that keep them awake at night. Talking through what is said or unsaid\, the stories that have a beginning but no end\, the tangents that lead to possibilities or dead ends\, and the interpersonal dynamics that make collaboration possible or problematic are all part of a debriefing process that holds great potential for pushing the field forward. This is work that should not be done alone. All interview stories welcome! \n  \nREGISTRATION \nRegister now with this link \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.
