“The touring exhibition “10 Years of State of Emergency” organized by ATSA is coming to an end. After visiting nine Cultural Centres in Montreal and travelling to Québec, Drummondville, Trois-Rivières, Frederiction, Vancouver, Calgary, it is visible for a few more days at the Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain in Winnipeg!
About “10 Years of State of Emergency”:
“After producing 11 editions of the État d’Urgence “manifestival”, which garnered the 2008 Citoyen de la Culture prize, ATSA created a multidisciplinary visual exhibition featuring works by over 20 artists—local, Canadian and foreign—who made original contributions to État d’Urgence during the event’s run between 1998 and 2010, covering video, photography, illustration, poster art, archival film, soundtracks and installations.The public is invited to discover these colourful, ingenious, sensitive, playful and impactful artistic statements that all deal with the theme of homelessness and the encounter of that often-feared individual: the outsider. Welcome to the artistic universe of État d’Urgence, a voyage that leaves no-one indifferent, and that makes the case that art can be a means of survival.”
