EVASION is a multidisciplinary artistic initiative that moved through institutional, community and public spaces, transforming art into a shared experience of reflection, expression and belonging.
A culminating point that demonstrated an ability to design, coordinate and deploy several creative projects in a short time.
FOUR DEPLOYMENTS
A selection of EVASION works exhibited in the heart of the Quartier des spectacles.
The exhibition was then hosted in a neighbourhood library, in an institutional and community context.
The exhibition moved outdoors, into the arches of the Pavillons Bloom, directly inside people’s living spaces.
The EVASION mural, created with District Central, as part of an urban revitalization effort.
EVASION marks a turning point in the development of the practice. What began as a body of work expanded into institutional exhibition, community participation and permanent public art, creating a lasting presence within Montréal’s urban landscape.

IMPACT
EVASION transcended the traditional exhibition format. The initiative moved from a major cultural institution to a neighbourhood library, from youth participation to outdoor public spaces, and ultimately into Montréal’s permanent urban landscape. Each deployment expanded the project’s reach while preserving the same purpose: creating spaces where people can pause, feel, express themselves and reconnect with their environment.

« The project transcends the simple framework of an artistic initiative. It acts as an engine of social transformation. »
EVASION is one example of how a vision can be translated into exhibition, public artwork and collective mobilization.
