Project Description
Supported by the permanent team of Caravansérail, the project manager coordinate the Insulars’s Banquets, a nine day event presenting happenings and activities with the aim of breaking the isolation of those who suffer from it. The main mandate of the chosen person will be to support nine artists representing a minority reality — coming from the four corners of the country — in the preparation and organization of their happenings taking place in Rimouski (QC) in May 2022. With the project partners, the person will plan a series of complementary activities reaching various audiences.
By « representatives of a minority reality », we mean people who identify themselves to a community facing an asymmetry of power and representation. Among others, this includes people who consider themselves as Indigenous, racialized, visible minorities, disabled and/or a part of LGBTQ+ community.
