DARE-DARE organised a festive PARADE in Petite-Bourgogne and St-Henri neighborhoods. With or without costume, the public was invited to wander and celebrate the cityscape with family and friends.

The project is a mobile platform to encourage discussion in public spaces about the working conditions of artists and cultural workers in the Saint-Henri district, through bread and other artistic events.

This project is the result of a long reflection on the relationship between repetition, experience and language. It is a performance realized by a group of performers who carry out several distinct actions in the public space.

The project approaches the Lachine Canal as an entity, seen through the eyes and actions the Wanderer, a character created by the artist Douglas Scholes.

The work is a monumental ephemeral installation in the tradition of land art. Through this strong and unequivocal artistic gesture, he creates a direct link with the invasive problem of the emerald ash borer.

The starting point of the artwork is to locate urban furniture elements that are damaged in order to perform «repairs» on them. This operation initiates an artistic gesture where the repairing partly dictates the choice of shapes, scales and materials. The objective is to position my sculptures as prostheses replacing the missing or broken parts of selected objects.

Presented as part of the Journées de la culture, this cultural activity consists of an artistic tour during which participants are invited to collect works / prints by artists selected by DARE-DARE.

To commemorate the importance of rivers in our lives, to reflect on their transformation and those who have crossed them and sometimes given their lives, I intend to dedicate my wanderings with a grocery basket, to Water and Men.

This book looks at the last three locations where the DARE-DARE mobile shelter was moored, namely Cabot Square, Walter-Stewart Park and the Quartier des spectacles, and offers the reflections of five authors on various realities of artistic practices in public space.
