Élaboration du projet / Description:

Le but de la recherche est de faire respecter le processus d'évaluation par les jurys de pairs auprès du Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (ci-après nommé le CALQ). Au moyen d'une méthode de sondage strictement confidentiel, afin de respecter la confidentialité exigée des jurys de pairs, le chercheur communiquera avec quelques membres des jurys des arts visuels, des arts médiatiques et des arts multidisciplinaires, tant au niveau provincial que régional, des 4 dernières années, qui auront été identifiés en collaboration avec le RCAAQ parmi celles et ceux qui nous paraissent disposés à répondre à ce sondage. Il s'agit de jurys qui portent sur l'attribution de bourses et de subventions.

Project Description:

The Montreal Media Co-op is looking for a student, preferably in Journalism or Communications, to undertake a research and writing project for the upcoming semester. The student would be expected to work with members of the MMC is researching one or several topics through various means, including Access to Information Requests, archival research and interviews. While familiarity with journalistic research methods is a plus, training will be provided to the student as well.

The research will revolve around a clear topic with the goal of publishing at least one in-depth investigative piece. The topic will be defined based on the needs identified by the MMC and take into account the student's research interests. Possible topics include: Housing and homelessness Poverty rates/anti-poverty programs Environmental initiatives on Montreal island Police brutality/killings and accountability Women, queer and trans- issues in Montreal Race and racism in Montreal.

Based in Montreal’s South-West, the Ste-Emilie Skillshare is a politicized community art space run by a collective of trans people, queers and people of colour. We are artists and activists, working together within an anti-oppression framework and moving towards social transformation. As historically marginalized people, sharing our art and skills are revolutionary acts as the art we produce can be used as a tool for political change.

We host a fully-functional silkscreen studio, which is our primary way of
working with other communities and community organizations, but we
also host workshops, film screenings, vernissages, parties and kids'
days.  We see the teaching and making of art by marginalized
communities as an important component of anti-oppressive organizing.

Project Description:

A team of artists are developing artistic renditions of our Geographic Information System GIS mapping of 105 Mohawk placenames from 2000.  We need students with artistic and technical abilities to aid in the rendering.   

In 450 years the long tens of thousands of years of First Nation heritage have received no recognition or effort from colonial governments and institutions for compiling essential heritage material for our people and region.  Governments and institutions are afraid of impacts of recognizing indigenous sovereignty and challenges to their own usurped authorities.  Come and join us in celebration of 'indigenous' (Latin = 'self-generating') heritage for sustainable development.
