Time Machine : Comment réfléchir le temps?
For its eighth edition, Montreal Monochrome reflects on the different notions of time. How do we reflect on time in an era where current events seem to be in constant flux and intertwined without a real capture of current injustices? How do we reflect on time when we are all part of an ecosystem of artists and cultural workers with different realities and diverse backgrounds? How do we reflect on the notions of crip time (1) and its multiple definitions, from one experience to another? Can we really decolonize time? Is time influenced by a linear western and capitalist vision or is it rather a circular notion (2)?
Montreal Monochrome is an annual conference organized by articule's Fabulous (anti-oppression) Committee. It addresses the misrepresentation and under-representation of Indigenous and racialized people in the current Montreal arts scene. The event aims to imagine and nurture new and existing connections, solidarities and friendships between Indigenous artists, thinkers, cultural workers and racialized allies. Artists, cultural workers, researchers, community organizers and others are invited to apply. The selected projects may take the form of workshops, round tables, debates, collective works, actions in the public space, interventions, performances, demonstrations, lightning gatherings, among others.

The Short Term Programming Committee is teaming with the Fabulous Committee to combine the conference event with a Window Exhibition and a Special Project. To learn more about these two call for proposals, please follow the links below:
—-------------------
The Fabulous Committee is a space for Black, Indigenous and/or racialized articule members, as well as Black, Indigenous and/or racialized queer and/or trans members, to come together, to have a space to care for each other, to exchange ideas, to share their practice and to see art together. The activities of the Fabulous Committee change according to the needs and desires of the members.
The Short Term Programming Committee is particularly interested in "undisciplined" practices and projects that manifest themselves in in situ contexts and/or non-gallery sites.
