La Ville Extraordinaire
What can the memories of older Montrealers teach us about how our city has changed over time? How have different communities shaped their neighbourhoods and produced spaces with collective significance? And how might research-creation methods facilitate a public sharing of these memories, stories, and places? Working with oral history and place-based research-creation methods, La Ville Extraordinaire foregrounds the urban knowledge of four diverse groups of older Montrealers. The project will culminate in an exhibition at Mémoire des Montréalais.es, a new museum dedicated to living memory in a multicultural city.
Buskers in the City
"[Follows] the buskers in Montreal to garner from them an understanding of the city’s economy, culture and urban space, and their entanglements. It is a historical and geographical study that examines the position of the itinerant entertainer or musician in the political economy of the city. Both history and place are explored from the vantage point of this itinerant figure; and spaces frequented by buskers in the present or in the past are foregrounded in tracing urban transformations effecting the city since the 1960s."

Tell Me About Riopelle
As a lead-up to the 100th anniversary of the birth of artist Jean Paul Riopelle in 2023, the Jean Paul Riopelle Foundation and Concordia University have teamed up for an ambitious project: to create a digital oral archive that will deepen our understanding of and share knowledge about the life and career of this world-renowned artist. This project, led by the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS), aims to collect stories that contribute to Riopelle’s life story through the voices of those who knew him or encountered him, and to make these stories accessible across multiple channels.
