Hochelaga : Montréal en mutation = Evolving Montreal
No full text" This intimate portrait of my neighbourhood is my way of lending a voice to the forgotten and marginalized, and to the significant human beings who have crossed my path in the past two decades I've lived in Hochelaga. An exhibition and a book to highlight their beauty and luminosity, without concealing the traces their difficult pasts have left on their faces and bodies, and in their hearts. To shine a light on what remains of this working-class neighbourhood alongside the changes brought about by its gentrification. 'Hochelaga' is a tribute to the neighbourhood to which I owe so much, to a changing urban and human landscape that is no longer the one I discovered eighteen years ago, a place where the cracks allow the light in to reveal a world that, while not without blemish, is all the more touching for its unconventional beauty.

Collection Thinking : Within and Without Libraries, Archives and Museums
No full text"Collection Thinking is a volume of essays that thinks across and beyond critical frameworks from library, archival, and museum studies to understand the meaning of "collection" as an entity and as an act. It offers new models for understanding how collections have been imagined and defined, assembled, created, and used as cultural phenomena.
Featuring over 70 illustrations and 21 original chapters that explore cases from a wide range of fields, including library and archival studies, literary studies, art history, media studies, sound studies, folklore studies, game studies, and education, Collection Thinking builds on the important scholarly works produced on the topic of the archive over the past two decades and contributes to ongoing debates on the historical status of memory institutions. The volume illustrates how the concept of "collection" bridges these institutional and structural categories, and generates discussions of cultural activities involving artifactual arrangement, preservation, curation, and circulation in both the private and the public spheres. Edited and introduced collaboratively by three senior scholars with expertise in the fields of literature, art history, archives, and museums, Collection Thinking is designed to stimulate interdisciplinary reflection and conversation.
This book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners interested in how we organize materials for research across disciplines of the humanities and social sciences. With case studies that range from collecting Barbie dolls to medieval embroideries, and with contributions from practitioners on record collecting, the creation of sub-culture archives, and collection as artistic practice, this volume will appeal to anyone who has ever wondered about why and how collections are made." -- Publisher's website
Pidginization as Curatorial Method : Messing with Languages and Praxes of Curating
No full text"In Pidginization as Curatorial Method: Messing with Languages and Praxes, renowned curator and director Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung proposes Pidgin languages as expressions of resistance to settler colonialism and pidginization as a way to approach curating (and the world), creating new spaces for encounter, knowledge, and pluralities. Deftly deploying the thinking, writing, and rhythmic beat of musicians, philosophers, linguists, poets, and novelists, Ndikung offers a new vision for activist curatorial practice and beyond. This is the third volume of the series Thoughts on Curating, edited by Steven Henry Madoff." -- Publisher's websit
