𝐴𝑢𝑗𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑑'ℎ𝑢𝑖 𝑗𝑒 𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑐𝑒 𝑞𝑢𝑒 is an intergenerational exhibition showcasing works by Jacqueline Beaumont, Sylvie Cotton, Alegria Gobeil, Cindy Hill, Sophie Jodoin & John Boyle Singfield. This exhibition is about crying and the need to give form to our experiences.
The exhibition makes room for the distances that emerge when we question the act of crying. The distance between the person crying and the reason for their tears, the distance between the one who cries and the one who offers comfort, the distance between who we are in the midst of tears and who we are after the breakdown. The distance between the tears and what we make of them, the distance between the absent and their absence. The distance between the last tears and the next.
