MORE ON THE PROJECT "AROUND THE TABLE"
Intervals Collective is a collective of artists and cultural professionals interested in the social role of art in the diverse world. Through multiple activities, creation, production and artistic dissemination, the collective aims to embrace liminal spaces, and through social interactions and interventions, seeks to fill a void – a gap between communities, institutions and established structures. Intervals is the space of “in-between” and the conjuncture of different links that incites dialogues, and facilitates experiences and exchanges in relation with the world.
Created in 2015, Intervals Collective brings together artists and cultural workers from Montreal’s ethno-cultural communities. Since its creation, the members of the collective have met regularly to exchange ideas, share experiences and plan artistic projects. These meetings have become an interval of creation and reflection that has greatly contributed to building a sense of community and belonging as Montreal artists, and the Collective aims to find ways to extend this experience to other individuals and communities.
The members are Caroline Douville (artiste), Maria Ezcurra (artist), Dominique Fontaine (curator), Romeo Gongora (artist), Maria Hoyos (artist), Miwa Kojima (graphic designer/editor/artist) and Thi-My Truong (art historian/museologist).
