Le Festival BD de Montréal lancera le bal sur la rue Saint-Denis, du 14 au 18 mai.

The Constellation kick off bike ride/beach hang. Meet at 5pm, departure at 5:30pm SHARP. We will ride bikes to a sketchy beach on the voie maritime. The sketchy beach is magical with best view of the city and the sunset. The bike ride is about 12kms and is mostly flat. We can ride bikes the whole way there. At the end we have to descend a small steep hill and short walk along a path to the water. The accessibility of this terrain depends greatly on the weather immediately before the event (it could be muddy, slippery, overgrown, or dry and very passable). We don't know what beach we will exactly end up on, as this depends on the conditions the day of. Should arrive by 6:30. You can also get there by walking, or taking public transit part of the way and then walking 6-8 kms. No bathrooms, no running water, no services of any kind. Nearest store is 10kms away. RAIN OR SHINE. Things to bring: Water, Snacks, Firewood, Sunscreen (if sunny), Long sleeves and pants (if cool and/or buggy), Bugspray, Lights for the ride home, Friends, Swimming gear (if you wanna swim), Something to sit on, Toilet paper, Games!

J’apprendrai à nager pour connaître votre plaisir d’habiter un abîme : ce sont mes mots et ceux du très terrestre Cyclope Polyphème. C’est aussi un chant d’amour et de désespoir : un désespoir très proche du ravissement. Alors comme le Cyclope mon camarade, j’apprends à chanter pour apprendre à nager pour apprendre – on ne fait au fond jamais autre chose – pour apprendre à vivre, enfin. — Nicolas Arthur Dufour

Dans Rémanences, le fond diffus cosmologique sert de trame conceptuelle à une expérience de perception où la lumière constitue à la fois un sujet et un moyen. Après avoir exploré dans une série d’œuvres l’attrait des feux d’artifice, Florence Viau tourne maintenant son attention vers un rayonnement aussi mystérieux qu’ancien. — Josianne Poirier

May 7 – June 20, 2026
I shall learn to swim so as to know your pleasure in dwelling within an abyss: these are my words, and those of the very terrestrial Cyclops, Polyphemus. It is also a song of love and of despair, a despair closely akin to ecstasy. Thus, like the Cyclops, my comrade, I learn to sing in order to learn to swim, in order to learn – for in truth we do nothing else – in order, finally, to learn to live. — Nicolas Arthur Dufour

In Rémanences, the cosmic microwave background serves as a conceptual basis for a perceptual experience in which light constitutes both subject and means. After producing a series of works in which she explored the allure of fireworks, Florence Viau now turns her attention to an ancient, mysterious radiance. — Josianne Poirier

Technospaces On Film, captures the blur and the background of the already and soon-to-be obsolete technologies abutting and intruding into our lives. Together we will watch films and moving image works that examine different aspects of the affective and extractive behaviours inherent in our digital interactions to reflect on the 'real' costs of these choices. Screenings: Fresh Kill (1994, dir. Shu Lea Chang) and Video Home System (2018, dir. Sharlene Bamboat)

Le Festival BD de Montréal installe ses chapiteaux du 15 au 17 mai 2026 afin de créer une balade BD sur 1,2 km ponctuée d'activités, d'expositions et de rencontres. Cette année le Festival a une riche programmation complètement gratuite de plus de 60 activités sous le thème VIVANTE! C'est un record de plus de 350 artistes et 190 exposantes qui sont attendues sous ses chapiteaux. Pour illustrer cette thématique et souligner notre anniversaire, nous avons choisi une figure marquante de la BD montréalaise : Julie Rocheleau! Ses affichés aux compositions dynamiques sont toujours élégantes et sensibles, avec une petite touche punk qui lui est propre.

The brain invents a world to fill the hole at the center of it." A documentary about bias in how we frame, process, and perceive things told through the development of technologies such as police body cameras, astronomy research, and automatic weapons.

Public events take place on May 15 - 16 across spaces at Concordia University in the EV building at the SGW downtown campus. Embodied Interventions is a performance festival involving students from LePARC research cluster and beyond. This year's theme will focus on the overlapping spaces between labour and performance. The work of animation, and the animation of work: to animate a space, to be animated, animare, to give movement or life. In a cultural moment of increased automation and global upheaval, labour becomes disconnected and disembodied. Experiences of precarity and the realities of global capital touch many more of our lives; shaping the way we perform selfhood, making, and relationality. Work bleeds into life, love and leisure. Animation speaks to both the moving body as the sign of freedom, spirit, and liveliness, and to the movement of labour needed to put into motion, to make things happen, to endow matter with life. To (re)animate in this context might be to return to a politic of embodiment, to value both labour and labourer. Through social media and the digital, our relationships to performance are also changed; we take the invisible for granted and fetishize the performative. The machinations of labour are the undercurrent that animates our lives. The work of the performer becomes the work of the contemporary subject - the production of subjectivity, sociality and emotion.
