The Lost Paintings: a Prelude to Return
— articule: From August 29 to October 4, 2025
— MAI: From September 5 to October 4, 2025
This joint exhibition gathers 53 artists from Palestine and its diaspora across time and borders to reimagine the missing works of Maroun Tomb, a Palestinian-Lebanese artist, whose 1947 exhibition in Haifa was lost amid the mass displacement and dispossession of the Palestinians during the Nakba. The works resurrect a moment that was nearly erased until it was discovered in archival documents.

Sounds Like Solidarity: A Conversation with Josh MacPhee & Kevin Yuen Kit Lo
— From October 4, 2025 starting at 5:30 PM
This event will be an opportunity to hear from graphic designer, artist, and cultural worker Josh MacPhee. Drawing on his research for the book Strike While the Needle is Hot: A discography of Worker’s Revolt this conversation will be focused on the intersections of art and activism - specifically the role music and songs have played in labour movements. Whether it be songwriters in a Fiat factory or miners in the music studio - musicians and workers have a long history of co-creating a popular culture of resistance.
Josh will be in conversation with local designer, professor, and activist Kevin Yuen Kit Lo.
This event is taking place in collaboration with arts in the margins and with support from La Conféderation des Syndicats Nationaux and the Social Justice Centre at Concordia University.
Maison Palestine: Glimmer of a Grove Beyond
— From October 10 to November 8, 2025
Glimmer of a Grove Beyond is an exhibition of political posters from the Palestinian resistance covering the 1970s and 1980s, drawn from the collections of the Palestinian Museum in Birzeit. Produced by various collectives and factions or, in some cases, as part of competitions, these posters commemorate key dates in the ongoing Palestinian Nakba and keep alive the memory of the land and the imperative of the liberation struggle. Curated by Adele Jarrar.
La Manda (micro-residency) — Camila Vásquez
— From October 14th to 17th, from 12 to 6 PM
Through theoretical research that I refer to as “embodied,” I intend to explore my relationship with two pioneers of the avant-garde (Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Sonia Delaunay-Terk), as well as two major Latin American cultural references (Violeta Parra and the band Soda Stereo). My intention is to produce knowledge through the body and emotions, not only through reading and study, but also and above all through a performative approach.
H ART Department — Joni Snack Witch
— From October 27th to November 1st, Conference Event on November 1st.
H ART Department is a performance and series of public programming investigating the unethical ways the art world functions at the expense of burnt-out artists and art workers.
Mimicking bureaucratic processes used by institutions to give the illusion of power, Snack Witch plays with the visual language of administrations to give authority to whisper networks, generally frowned upon by systems of and people in power. This project will highlight the tactics used by artists and arts workers to protect those who continue to work in the industry.
