Writing workshop on August 29 from 2 to 4 p.m. at La HALTE (Sainte-Cunégonde Park)
From July 18 to 20, Céline Huyghebaert was in micro-residence at La HALTE, where she began to compile a collection of gestures of resistance against exhaustion. Philosopher Sara Ahmed writes that simply asking oneself how to live, how to love, can already be the stone that jams the system. Resisting the user manual, the instructions, the prescriptions of what is called “a successful life.”
On August 29, Céline invites you to discover her collection of “ stones” as part of a collective writing workshop designed as a living space for sharing and exploration. No prerequisites are necessary, other than the desire to reflect and discuss together.
Céline Huyghebaert
Céline Huyghebaert develops transdisciplinary work at the intersection of literature and visual arts. She creates projects in the form of publications, collective workshops, collaborations, and exhibitions. She weaves together a plurality of real and fictional voices, intimate and scientific, with the aim of giving substance to what has been neglected or erased. Her hybrid writing combines text, print, collage, photography, ceramics, and video. She has received several important awards, including the Bronfman Fellowship in Contemporary Art (2019), the Governor General's Literary Award for Le drap blanc (Le Quartanier, 2019), and the CALQ Artist in the Community Award for de tous nos corps, a book created with people diagnosed with cancer (2023).
