SUMMARY:Listening as Political Act
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive performance-workshop\, Brett Davidson explores listening not just as a personal practice\, but as a vital political act. Combining elements of storytelling\, theory\, dialogue\, audio\, and visual imagery\, the session invites participants to reflect on the ways listening shapes democracy\, public life\, and our collective ability to imagine change.  \nDrawing from his extensive experience in narrative strategy\, media\, and social justice\, Davidson frames listening as a tool for transformation—one that can challenge dominant narratives\, create space for marginalized voices\, and foster deeper connections across difference. Participants will be invited to engage actively\, considering how listening can become an ethical and creative practice in their own work\, studies\, and communities.  \nAs a work in progress\, the session opens a space for experimentation and exchange\, encouraging those present to co-create meaning around the political and artistic potential of listening.  \n  \nBrett Davidson is founder and principal at Wingseed LLC\, where he supports social justice changemakers around the world to amplify their impact. Brett also serves as Lead of Narrative Field-Building with IRIS\, the International Resource for Impact and Storytelling. Previously he was director of Media and Narratives at the Open Society Public Health Program\, where he led an international team focused on changing long-held social narratives impacting health equity. Prior to joining Open Society in 2010\, Davidson was a media consultant to civil society organizations in Southern and Eastern Africa. He previously served as program manager at the South African democracy institute Idasa\, where he helped community radio stations develop participatory news and current affairs programming. Before that\, he worked as a presenter and producer in radio current affairs at the South African Broadcasting Corporation\, and in collaboration with the BBC. Brett has an MA in Journalism and Media Studies from Rhodes University and an MA in Individualized Study from NYU’s Gallatin School.  \n  \nREGISTRATION \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register! \nThis is an online event. \nTo attend\, please register here. \nFor any questions\, please contact cohds.chorn@concordia.ca \n  \nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.

SUMMARY:Photographing Change: Reform and Photography in 1960s Little Burgundy
DESCRIPTION:Walking tour participants will meet at the Union United Church at 3007 Rue Delisle\, Montréal\, QC H4C 1M8 at 2:55 pm \n“Photographing Change: Reform and Photography in 1960s Little Burgundy” is a walking tour which invites guests to learn about and engage in discussion on the expropriation photos of Little Burgundy. Taken throughout the 1960s\, these photos show the expropriated homes which were destroyed in the building of the Ville-Marie Expressway and the development of the neighbourhood. Haunting and in some ways violent\, the photos depict the homes of Little Burgundy residents of the 1960s\, depicting the intrusion of city workers in their private domestic lives. Engaging with the story of the historically black neighbourhood and theories of photography\, participants will be invited to discuss the photos and critically examine the role of photography in the expropriation process. Oral history interviews from the COHDS archives are used to expand the image of the neighbourhood depicted in these photographs. We’ll hear the words of community members as we walk through the Little Burgundy today. \nSerafina Swandel  is an undergraduate student in Art History at Concordia University. As a student affiliate with COHDS\, her research interests center around the intersections of oral history and craft and the way in which oral history can illuminate craft practices and relationships forged by craft. She is interested in a study of visual and material cultures that is socially and historically informed. \n  \nPhoto description: Man sitting at kitchen table caught in photo.
