SOLIDARITY PIQUE-NIQUE à la maison RADIO-CANADA le 16 mai, de 12h à 14h
///english below\\
Les réductions budgétaires aux diffuseurs publics et à l’ONF ne sont pas pasées inaperçus! Les étudiantEs en grève du Québec vous invitent à un pique-nique de solidarité devant la Maison Radio-Canada au 1400 boul. René-Lévesque Est, le 16 mai, de 12h à 14h. En festoyant devant leurs bureaux, nous créerons une opportunité pour que les journalistes de Radio-Canada puissent apprendre à mieux connaître les gens impliqués dans la lutte pour une éducation postsecondaire accessible à tous. Apportez vos nappes de pique-nique, votre lunch et venez vous dorer la couenne sous le chaud soleil de la démocratie! En cas de pluie (un événement météorologique clairement anti-démocratique) le pique-nique aura lieu le lendemain.
Spending cuts to our public media outlets: The CBC and NFB have not gone unnoticed by students! Student Strikers of Québec invite all Canadians to a solidarity picnic lunch in front of Montréal’s Maison Radio-Canada, 1400 Boulevard René-Lévesque East, Wednesday the 16th of May, from 12-2pm. Besides eating and playing at this family-friendly event, we are creating an opportunity for the CBC to interview the the folks involved in the peaceful protest for accessible education and improved social services for all. Bring your picnic (red if you have!) blankets and lunch to come bask in the sunshine of democracy. (In case of rain, the picnic will be held the following day, Thursday, May 17th.)

Sightings I: Inundations
April 5 - May 18
A project by Anne-Marie Proulx, with artworks by Raymonde April
Anne-Marie Proulx is interested in the effects of accumulation and regrouping of photographs in Raymonde April’s artistic practice. In the context of Sightings I: Inundations, Proulx examines the influence of the photographs’ presentation context on their reception, their capacity to evoke other images, as well as the correspondences that could emerge between them.
This project proposes three investigations into Raymonde April’s artwork Tout embrasser: two photographs extracted from its original 517 components; the eponymous publication which contains reproductions of the two exhibited photographs, revealing their relationship to the others in the April’s series; as well as a personal and narrative interpretation of the artist’s images.
