Activity in French
As part of its mandate as a college technology transfer center, Artenso's mission is to strengthen its ties with the college community, particularly with the Cégep de Saint-Laurent, to which it is affiliated. In this spirit, SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art and Artenso are pleased to announce an unprecedented collaboration for an intervention in the Art History classes led by Anite de Carvalho at Cégep de Saint-Laurent. Integrated into SBC's programming, this intervention invites students to reflect on the notions of conocimiento and autohistoria and to explore how these concepts can serve as tools for constructing cultural citizenship.
This event is part of the program Writing With the Body
Initiated and organized by Marcela Borquez, Renata Cervetto and Carla Rangel, Writing With the Body is a one-month public program running at the SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art from November 19 to December 14, 2024.

Contributions by artists Verena Melgarejo, Amanda Gutiérrez, Florencia Sosa Rey, Colectiva Polea, amongst others, will foster a deeper exploration of Anzaldúa’s work and legacy. The public program has been put together in partnership with Artenso (Research and Innovation Centre for Art and Social Engagement), LabARD (Arts Research Laboratory in Decoloniality of UQAM), centre Turbine, OMEC-INRS (Observatory of Cultural Mediations) and DARE-DARE.
