articule is introducing a deprogramming approach for Fall 2026. The center is at a pivotal moment in its history, as we will be moving in October after five years at the Plaza Saint-Hubert gallery space. At this crossroads, and in anticipation of major disruptions to the schedule and logistics of our programming, the articule team issued a call for proposals last fall to gather ideas that would treat this uncertainty as an opportunity to unveil a brand-new formula.

very abstract and a little bit harsh: a screening and reading traces the political consciousness of Lily Jue Sheng’s practice through a decade of their experience around unstable cinema economies. The program will be accompanied by a short poetry reading that draws from class struggles across various fronts and fissures, followed by a Q&A with Steff Huì Cí Ling, a writer and researcher based in Vancouver (xwməθkwəy̓əm Musqueam, Skwxwú7mesh Squamish, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ / Selilwitulh / Tsleil-Waututh).

very abstract and a little bit harsh: the labour process and the union is a special presentation of worker co-research with Steff Huì Cí Ling, a writer and researcher based in Vancouver (xwməθkwəy̓əm Musqueam, Skwxwú7mesh Squamish, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ / Selilwitulh / Tsleil-Waututh) on the course of worker struggles in arts and cultural sector unions. The conversation will touch on art, labour, real estate speculation, Canada Council for the Arts, and notes from the rank-and-file perspective.

Join us for this third edition of Flux Festival, which offers an afternoon of listening, discussion, and performances. The day begins with the launch of the book A Year of Deep Listening: 365 Text Scores for Pauline Oliveros, edited by Stephanie Loveless. We’ll follow that with a special session featuring our distinguished guests, Ras Burnett and Ben Young from the New York jazz archive Crossing Tones, who will lead a jazz listening session in the presence of legendary jazz tuba player Bob Stewart.
