Working Places, Changing Spaces

LECTURE PRESENTED ON MARCH 27, 2013

The re-use, reconversion and revitalisation of industrial neighbourhoods and buildings in Montreal has resulted in a variety of buildings, displays and artistic projects; both popular and contested. What happens socially, architecturally and culturally when an urban sector changes its use? Come hear about some projects that experiment with the meaning and use of industrial spaces.

Moderator:

• Dinu Bumbaru, Policy Director of Heritage Montreal

Speaker:

• Shauna Janssen, Independent curator and doctoral student in social studies, Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture, Concordia University

Lecture presented by the McCord Museum and Heritage Montreal.
