We are very happy to unveil the schedule for our upcoming members’ exhibition, The Commons, to take place from September 25-29th, 2023 at Concordia University’s 4TH Space and Concordia’s Video Production Studio.

Though named an exhibition, The Commons will embody the essence of a forum. A week of dynamic programming invites visitors to discover the projects of Milieux artists and researchers and to engage in communal activities and interdisciplinary experiments, reflecting the shared ethos of the theme. This exhibition will run concurrently with a residency of scientists and artists from Concordia and McGill university working on research-creation at the interface of Design and Material Science.

Below you will find the agenda with the planned activities and the description of the events. The Commons will feature more than 30 researchers and artists who will be showcasing their individual and collective projects. To discover their work please go here.
