Programming

To explore the theme of “Methods and games of space: zones of existence" as part of DARE-DARE's programming, Catherine Lalonde Massecar proposes an approach based on the Machine génératrice de protocoles (mgP) she created in 2022.

For her project at DARE-DARE, Sarah Naomi Zakaib produced replicas of her grandmother's ring, with the aim of passing them on to others in the form of individual performance-meetings.

A reporter with polymorphous powers investigates the day-to-day reality of sexual and gender minorities at Polytechnique Montréal. Eyebrows raised.

For the second edition of the CONFLUENCES residency, DARE-DARE welcomes Annabelle Brazeau for 8 weeks. Her project Histoire de famille - récits dessinés is a comic strip micro-edition produced in collaboration with a literacy group.

The artist presents a first screening of Canterel, a performance film that anchors itself in the landscapes of Montreal's Sud-Ouest district through short tableaux that dialogue with the area's physical and social spaces.

The artist has created an audio landscape based on sound snippets collected by participants in the Soundwalk along the Water workshop held on the banks of the Lachine Canal in June 2023.

The project "Common signs/Znaki Wspólne" aims to highlight the sign language, which is often overlooked when talking about cultural diversity and minorities.

MEAREWE, which is implemented over 100 days, is intended to be a participatory experience between the artist duo and the public.

A group walk, led by the artist, takes citizens, friends and passers-by through several geographic, linguistic and symbolic detours in the neighborhood surrounding DARE-DARE.

Throughout the fall and winter, the artist sets in motion a triad of interventions where citizen spontaneity, the desire to contribute, transmission and learning are activated and revived.

Opening doors to a virtual studio space, Jennifer and Raphaëlle invite us to a pool. What would you share about yourself? An object? A letter? A tool? A question?
