À suivre is a unique opportunity to discover what goes on behind the scenes at MAI (Montréal, arts interculturels), in the context of the Alliance program. Conceived in two distinct parts, this showcase illuminates the creative genius of artists working in visual and performing arts.
The first part of the event will take place in the MAI café-bar on November 15th, where artists Reihan Ebrahimi (21.22 cohort), Zahra BuAli (22.23 cohort), Marc-Alain Félix (22.23 cohort), Jongwook Park (22.23 cohort) and Hea R. Kim (21.22 cohort) will exhibit their work. An ASL and LSQ interpreter will be on-site to facilitate networking. Migration, the notion of rootedness and the quest for identity will weave the narrative thread of this exhibition.
The second part of the showcase will take place in the MAI theatre on November 17, with an evening dedicated to the performing arts. In the intimacy of the theatre, the public will be treated to performances by talents such as Willywonka (21.22 studio residency), Natsumi Sophia Bellali (22.23 cohort), Kozmic Joy (Joy Rider & Kozmic, 22.23 cohort), Myth (studio residency x Studio303, 22.23 cohort), & roots2reach (21.22 cohort). LSQ and ASL interpreters will be on site before the performances. Artist introductions and performances with dialogue will be interpreted in LSQ and ASL.
