Présence | Décloisonner le regard

Contemporary art

Laura Barron, Maria Ezcurra, Milton Riaño and Sergio Clavijo

(Curator: Mariza Rosales Argonza)

Salle de diffusion de Parc-Extension
421, rue Saint-Roch, Montréal
Métro Parc

From September 5 to November 1, 2020

The Villeray-Saint-Michel-Parc-Extension borough invites the public to visit the group exhibition Présence | Décloisonner le regard. This exhibition offers an incursion into the creative universe of Milton Riaño, Maria Ezcurra, Laura Barrón and Sergio Clavijo, under the direction of curator Mariza Rosales Argonza.
This edition is an opportunity for LatinArte to highlight the dynamic presence of Latin American artists in Quebec, as well as the multidisciplinary nature of their practices. The exhibition aims to offer a new perspective on the multiplicity of interpretations and to encourage exchanges between artistic productions from the South and the North.
Digital installation, monumental sculpture, photographic art and organic art; these mediums emphasize the notion of presence, both physical and virtual. This edition highlights the pressing need to create community networks and modes of communication that promote the diffusion of works of art, resilience and collective creativity.
Echoing the concept of presence and exchange of this exposition at Parc-Extension's exhibit room, a work by artist Sergio Clavijo will be displayed in the entrance hall of the House of culture Claude-Léveillée, in order to create links between these two places of cultural diffusion within the borough.

Virtual room

Saturdays October 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31 - 5 p.m.

In its 12th edition, the LatinArte Festival highlights the recent audiovisual contributions of Latin American artists. With a special emphasis on creators from the Latin American diaspora in Montréal, the cinema program offers a diverse selection of the audiovisual universe of the peoples of this region and their diasporas in Canada. The curatorship sought to explore the appropriation of mainstream film genres by Latin American filmmakers to engage with their political realities and comment on subjects as diverse as the indigenous struggles for recognition and their rights to land, children's rights and their universe, the experiences of the Latin American diaspora and the persistent criminalization of Latin Americans in North America, the celebration of Latin American traditions and imaginaries, etc.
The selected films constitute a mosaic of gazes, landscapes, voices and peoples that attempt to capture the infinite richness of present-day Latin American film history and its geography, including places such as Brazil, Mexico, Quebec and Cuba, amongst others.

All screenings will be followed by a meeting with the directors.

Virtual room

Friday October 31 - 7 p.m.

The LatinArte Festival, in partnership with Concordia University, has invited poets and video directors to a co-creation activity to contribute to the knowledge and integration of the different cultures that meet in Montreal. Under the theme Portraits of life, they paired 5 poems with 5 videos, in Spanish and French. Each word and visual creation explores what makes us multiple subjects, as a consequence of diverse experiences such as exile, travel, migration, encounter with the other, discovery, drama, love or trauma. An initiative that immerses us in intercultural dialogue, among the arts, and invites us to meditate on the complexity of our lives and what makes us who we are.
