Cabaret de la diversité takes over Caravansérail for a festive happy hour! First, feast on appetizers prepared by members of the Carabert while gazing at the works being presented in the gallery for Tenderness! On the menu will be flavors from Quebec, Senegal, Tunisia, Costa Rica, China, and Syria. Second, participate in an open mic, hosted by Maël Pelletier. Poetry, songs, slam or speech: a microphone is at your disposal, it’s up to you! And, who knows, some special guests might even make surprise appearances… This is an evening you don’t want to miss!
Biographie
Cabaret de la diversité is a citizen initiative founded in April 2017 by the adoptive Lower-Saint-Laurent resident Lenine Nankassa Boucal. The Cabaret promotes togetherness and celebrates diversity in all its forms, wishing to be a space to meet, exchange, socialize, network, share information and bring awareness to what living together means. In doing so, it promotes the inclusion of all, allows for harmonious intercultural exchanges between Québecois·e·s of all origins, and contributes to the building of more welcoming communities, rich and prosperous in all their diversity.

TENDERNESS! GATHERING TO BREAK ISOLATION
9 days of free artistic activities
May 7 - 15, 2022
How can art highlight our interdependencies?
Through which means can we actively be together?
What energies can we harness to open sharing spaces?
Through the interim of several activities, Tenderness! explores the many spheres of isolation - social, geographical and artistic - that shape our way of being, interacting and caring for each other. By rejecting universalities that tend to blur inequities, Tenderness! instead affirms that it is in the sum of our singularities, in the expansion of our particularities, that a commonplace can be constructed.
