A dervish embraces death before death, sheds selfhood, and bows to the mystic's immortality. A freedom fighter, too, dies before death. Relinquishing the ego to be subsumed by the vast and nebulous unity of resistance, forsaking personal desire to dedicate the soul entirely to humanity. They surrender to the collective and its symbols, weaving their souls into the existence of all peoples, and patiently reflecting the moral sovereignty of the soul.

For our Winter Window Exhibition, mid-December 2024 to mid-January 2025, we are inviting applicants, both individual artists and collectives, to propose works around the theme: TRANSPARENCE. Works examining the unobstructed passage of light, works studying how looking through an object changes both the viewer and what is perceived, works with an aching desire to reveal personal secrets (a misguided longing for transparency?) are all welcome.

In collaboration with articule and Concordia University's Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling, Super Boat People is presenting the works of a cohort of ten participants of Cambodian, Vietnamese and Laotian origin reappropriating their family past through oral history and art. The Summer Window Exhibition exhibition brings together personal reflections, archives, artworks and objects created during this process.

As part of the 8th edition of Montreal Monochrome, multidiciplinary artist Laila Ait B. presents her Window install Le nœud.

Le nœud is a first in a series of sculptures in progress by artist Laila Ait B. The artist took this work out of the atelier to exhibit in articule’s window display gallery as a way of returning this mannequin to the street, and specifically Rue St-Hubert from which the mannequin was collected.
