As part of his residency, Piral shares a digital publication designed by Andes A. Beaulé / Studio Gabarit, available free of charge on the DARE-DARE website. The text looks back on the author-researcher's year of remote residency and offers impressions of some of the events that punctuated the center's year and the ecosystem of artist-run centers today.
The digital publication is available right here:

Alexandre Piral is an author and cultural worker based in Tiohtià:ke / Mooniyang (Montreal). After studying political science and art history, he was introduced to the healthcare field by working as a beneficiary attendant during the pandemic period. Since then, he has been in charge of public programs at the Fonderie Darling, where he contributes to supporting and accompanying both artists and the art center's various audiences, using the tools of cultural mediation. From a decolonial perspective, his current writing projects focus on the memories of local and international struggles and how they relate to his own family history.
