Montreal Cultural Calendar

The exhibition will present the work of designer-makers in ceramics, glass, textiles, and woodworking who were invited to reflect on the revalorization and creative reuse of production offcuts and scraps. An inevitable by-product of artisanal production, these materials are either reimagined through new techniques and materials or approached through installative works that reveal their technical, economic, ecological, and poetic dimensions.

After a two-year hiatus, Lambert & Fils is reopening its gallery located in the heart of its Mile End workshop. To mark this happy news, the studio is welcoming Ourse, a Toronto-based contemporary furniture manufacturer with production workshops in Montreal, as its first guest. A reservation is required for this one.

Join us for our next Translation Book Club meeting to discuss Season of Migration to the North, written by Tayeb Salih and translated by Denys Johnson-Davies. This event is open to all, so feel free to show up if you've read the book and want to talk about it; and if you haven't picked it up yet, but would like to participate, we have copies available in store! After years of study in Europe, the young narrator returns to his village along the Nile in the Sudan in the 1960s. He discovers a stranger among the familiar faces of childhood—the enigmatic Mustafa Sa'eed. Mustafa tells him the story of his own years in London, of his brilliant career as an economist, and of the series of fraught and deadly relationships with European women that led to a terrible public reckoning. Season of Migration to the North is a rich and sensual work of deep honesty and incandescent lyricism. In 2001 it was selected by a panel of Arab writers and critics as the most important Arab novel of the twentieth century. Masks are not required, but will be provided for free at the door. Please contact us at least a day in advance for elevator access to the store.
