This Friday, March 31st, at 5 PM, the Ethnography Lab will be screening Lost Rivers, a documentary by Caroline Bâcle, in presence of protagonist of the film, urban speleologist Danielle Plamondon!
The lab’s Montreal Waterways research group has been engaging ethnographically with a number of ‘water objects’ over the years examining Montreal’s historical and present relationship with water and place. Past projects have included an examination of the history of the St-Pierre River (central to this film!), which was buried and turned into sewage and drainage infrastructure over the past 150 years (a funeral was even organised for it!). We are thus very excited to be continuing this discussion with Danielle Plamondon and Montreal Waterways members!
When? March 31st at 5 PM.
Where? Speculative Life Research Cluster, 10.625 of Concordia’s EV Building. Once you get out of the elevator follow the ‘Milieux Institute’ arrows.
