\u201cWalls Have Ears: The Stories of Montreal\u2019s Queer Spaces\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Taking inspiration from queer mapping projects\u00a0Queering the Map<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Mapping Montreal’s Queer Spaces<\/i><\/span><\/a>, the project\u00a0Walls have Ears: The Stories of Montreal\u2019s LGBTQ2S+ Spaces<\/i>\u00a0seeks to not only put the diverse experiences of LGBTQ2S+ people on a map, but also to render them audible and combine different types of media. The project presents oral history narrations as well as historical capsules about important queer neighbourhoods. As such, it highlights spaces that are important for the participants all while giving historical context to Montreal\u2019s LGBTQ2S communities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibit is a pilot project \u2013 it is a testament to what is possible to achieve in terms of public history exhibits even in pandemic conditions. Even with limited resources, the exhibit highlights the sometimes contradictory realities that exist or have existed for LGBTQ2S+ people. As with our own memory, the project combines multiple times and spaces in a simultaneous manner. Hopefully, the project will inspire larger and more elaborate projects combining oral history and mapping. As well, the project is designed to inspire greater collaboration between queer archives across Canada and even worldwide.\u00a0 <\/span>Keeping in mind the accessibility of knowledge, especially given that LGBTQ2S+ topics are optional and often introduced at post-secondary level in the Quebec schools, Walls have Ears will always remain available online at the site of the Archives gaies du Qu\u00e9bec.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCultural Institutions, COVID-19, and the Black Lives Matter Movement\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic has called attention to the interconnections of a wide range of social issues, such as racial inequalities, climate change, and poverty, as well as the ways in which these relate to the relevance and accessibility of cultural institutions to diverse communities. This project aims to contribute to the emerging discussion regarding the translation of museum exhibits and other programming to the digital realm due to COVID-related social distancing, as well as broader debates about museums\u2019 responses and responsibilities as pertains to the global wave of protests in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. The goal of this research is to survey and analyze the fundamental issues in museums and the effects that the pandemic has had on seven key institutions in Montreal. Through an analysis of social media, online content, events and publications, I aim to answer the following questions: how well do museums interact and reach various communities in this city? In what ways did the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement shift the ways in which they do so? I hope this survey of museums\u2019 current responses, successes, and failures can serve as a toolkit for stimulating new kinds of partnerships among museums and communities, and for the reimagining of the museum space as a whole. <\/span><\/p>\n

Biography:<\/i>\u00a0 <\/span><\/b><\/span>Marie-Odile Samson<\/span> <\/b>is currently in her third and final year in the Public History Honours program. She is particularly interested in twentieth century European history, the study of genocides and events of mass violence, and the role of memory. She plans on pursuing her studies at the Master\u2019s level either in Museum Studies or Peace and Conflict Studies, in the hopes of extending her historical knowledge to a broader and social educative purpose, either through curatorial work or conflict resolution. <\/span><\/p>\n
