Pemberton (AKA Albertan rapper Cadence Weapon) drops by Montreal to launch his new book on "building a deeper relationship with music in the streaming era." Rollie Pemberton, in conversation with Peggy Hogan.

This performance will be presented on June 2nd (7pm), June 6th (4pm), and June 7th (3pm), all at Rockette Bar. In JUDITH, Sarah Chouinard-Poirier mobilizes, embodies, and gives voice to the figure of the living dead — this body that has been dehumanized and rendered monstrous — to expose the fear of the Other and denounce the narratives that govern the war on drugs. Drawing on references to popular culture and their own experience as an intervention and community worker, the artist delivers a multifaceted performance where zombies, cinema, humor, and theoretical underpinnings intersect in an embodied reflection on the hygienist, racist, and classist biopowers that govern substances and bodies.

Quarterly networking event for Montreal's digital community. An evening to meet the community, discover projects and foster dialogue between the art, research and industry sectors.

Eastern Bloc presents this 46th edition in collaboration with Ateliers Belleville and the Goethe-Institut. The program includes project presentations and exchanges within the community. Featured projects: Whispering of Shells — Milton Riano, PANOPTIKODE — Fanny Pimpurniaux, Electro-Acrylic — Alec Stephani, Belvedere — Olivier Basquin and Marius Cousin, Metamonument — Oli Sorenson, The Abyss 2 — Louis-Philippe Rondeau.

Free admission, registration required.

The 2026 edition of the PHI residency welcomes Eva Quintas, and Spoonful of Dirt, a collective formed by Andrea Williamson and Nina Pariser. Throughout the month of June, the public is invited to discover the emerging forms of their research and to contribute to them through this exhibition, as well as during a series of free public activities. While distinct in their approaches, the works presented here converge around shared concerns: questioning the environments we inhabit and shape, assessing the effects of human constructions on a diversity of living beings, and dreaming up futures in which more equitable modes of organization might emerge. In resonance with each other, these projects reveal different ways of inhabiting, perceiving, and relating to the territories we share, while opening onto the imagination of new configurations and modes of existence.

Open Source is now Format Montreal! And Format Montreal is a community-led, horizontal design festival amplifying talent in the Montreal design scene. They're having a second (third?) general meeting to answer everybody's questions and get the ball rolling, since the festival is set to start September 10th, which is in 4 months people! The best way to make your voice heard is to show up <3

Multisatures en vestiges is Mathieu Lacroix's second solo exhibition with McBride Contemporain. This exhibition brings together a new series of drawings on recycled paper and hybrid installation techniques, the exhibition reflects on the monumental presence of discarded objects in everyday life. Abandoned furniture, empty boxes, and other residual items that persist within our environments even as they disappear from collective attention, simultaneously occupying space while remaining overlooked by the collective gaze.

Ceremony is a presentation of the recent painting and drawing works of Alexei Kolakis-Landon and Tomas Dessureault, curated by Thomas-Antoine Girard. Together, the two artists envision painting as a site where gesture, material, and colour come together to create a lived aesthetic experience not solely contained to the canvas.

We have learned to observe living organisms through devices designed to stabilize them: Petri dishes, incubators, monitoring screens. Within this biomedical framework, life becomes observable, isolatable and measurable. Unstable Ecologies proposes a shift. The exhibition, featuring work by Jacqueline Beaumont, Alizée Armet, and Yue Cheng, examines how the life sciences are transforming our perception of the biological realm no longer as a static entity, but as a constantly evolving relational system. Drawing on the concept of biomedia, it reveals continuities between organisms, materials, and technical infrastructures. Against a backdrop shaped by industrial legacies and the promise of technological remediation, Unstable Ecologies invites viewers to rethink the living as a shared, unstable, and evolving environment. Rather than providing answers, Unstable Ecologies invites viewers to inhabit uncertainty and to think of life as relation, process and latency.

Pour la deuxième année, l’After Party, organisée en collaboration avec Kollectif, prolonge les festivités au CCA après la Soirée.

Conçue comme une continuité plutôt qu’une conclusion, l'After Party prend un rythme plus décontracté tout en restant dynamique, rassemblant différentes communautés sous un même toit.

Animée par la musique, les échanges et le mouvement, la soirée se présente comme une célébration collective de l’architecture. Réunissant diverses générations et pratiques, elle offre un espace de rencontre où la communauté se forme aussi naturellement sur la piste de danse que dans les échanges.

Un reçu de don sera émis pour le montant admissible de chaque billet.

La programmation de l’événement vous sera dévoilée prochainement.

For the second year, the After Party, organized in collaboration with Kollectif, extends the night at the CCA, following the Soirée. Conceived as a continuation rather than a conclusion, the evening shifts into a more laidback yet effervescent rhythm bringing many communities under one roof.

Shaped by music, conversation, and movement, the evening unfolds as a collective celebration of architecture, supporting the CCA’s ongoing work. Across practices and generations, it offers a space to come together—where community forms as naturally on the dance floor as it does in conversation.

A donation receipt will be provided for the eligible amount of each ticket.

The event program will be announced soon.
