Programming and Outreach Events
ENCRE ROUGE/RED INK — Dominic Lafontaine
— From January 16 to February 28, 2026
— Opening reception on January 16, 2026, from 5 to 7 PM
— Conference on February 28 at 4 PM
ENCRE ROUGE/RED INK is a multimedia installation that exposes the phenomenon of the Pretendian—non-Indigenous individuals who falsely present themselves as Indigenous.
The work tells the story of the Federation of First Nations Collective (FFNC), a fictitious organization created using artificial intelligence. Viewers are invited to relive a pivotal day in the FFNC’s history by visiting its headquarters, where the organization produces its identity cards.
Using humor, the piece highlights how real- world groups, much like the fictional FFNC, weaponize bureaucracy to exploit the perceived "benefits" of Indigenous identity. These actors spill red ink in their attempts to appropriate "red" blood.

Territoires humides — Fenyx Florentiny
— From March 20 to May 2, 2026
This project traces a queer and decolonial genealogy through sensory narratives rooted in the landscapes between Martinique and Quebec. Through an immersive and evolving installation blending sound, text, bioplastics, organic objects, and images, the work proposes a living laboratory where speculative fiction, guided meditation, and aquatic stories intertwine. The exhibition invites a bodily and collective experience, transforming visitors into an integral part of a shifting queer ecosystem.
