Journées de la culture 2009

A Musical Performance by From China to Quebec Collective

Saturday, September 26 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
at Studio XX, 4001 Berri, Suite 201

In collaboration with Studio XX and Chinese Family Service of Greater Montreal, artist Christine Brault initiated this co-creation project in 2008 with a group of Chinese women now living in Montreal. The From China to Quebec Collective draws from Chinese traditional arts integrating them into contemporary art.

In celebration of the Journées de la culture, the collective will present a performance where cultural blending unites singing with human weaving. Artist Pei-Lin Aryll will accompany the collective with her GuZheng, a traditional chinese musical instrument. To learn more about the project, please visit the project From China to Quebec.

Impassioned by Chinese culture, in May 2008, Christine Brault realized an artist residency in Beijing and participated in an international event in Shanghai.
