visible - sensible brings together the work of LGBTQ+ people from the Lower-Saint-Laurent, taking a look into a few of the multiple realities that make up our communities. Metaphorical portraiture, everyday spaces, images of loved ones and partners, abstract textures and materials - these are the tools used by the artists to capture experiences, affects, and ideas that resonate with and within their lives. Seeking to highlight the importance of creating spaces to express our plural existences, and bringing forward these diverse experiences, this project also held space for a few convivial meetings between people who are part of the LGBTQ+ communities.

TENDRESSE! Rendez-vous pour briser l’isolement
9 jours d'activités artistiques gratuites
7 - 15 mai 2022
Comment l’art peut-il souligner nos interdépendances?
Par quels moyens peut-on être activement ensemble?
Quelles énergies convoquer pour ouvrir des espaces de partage?
À travers une quinzaine d’activités, Tendresse! explore les contours des isolements - sociaux, géographiques, artistiques - qui délimitent nos façons d’être, d’interagir et de nous soutenir. Rejetant les universalismes qui tendent à aplatir les iniquités, Tendresse! affirme plutôt que c’est dans l’addition de nos singularités, dans le foisonnement des spécificités que l’on peut construire le commun.
Mettre en valeur le travail des artistes de la relève
