Guest speaker @ We Day Montreal

Project: Guest Speaker at We Day Montreal 2015

About: On March 24th and 25th 2015, I was invited to speak, in french and english, in front of two thousand kids and teenagers committed to social change about my personal experiences as a youth art educator and artist. The objective of the talk was to elaborate on:

-        what makes a person an artist? Is it their creativity, their passion, their knowledge? Can anyone be an artist?

-        Why is art such a great alternative outlet for young people to express their creativity and learn about themselves? 

-        Explained my struggle through some aspects of school and how art helped me discover who I am as a person.

Generation Graffiti -Xpression Graffiti Documentary

Documentary (in french): Xpression Graffiti is a 12 episode documentary that connects graffiti and the urban art culture in relation to our society, general and youth education and art.

About: In 2012, I was ask to be part of a documentary that connected graffiti and street art to art education and community work. I was asked to elaborate on the importance of art in education and how the graffiti workshop created by Le programme Graffiti was able to help teenagers escape their everyday life to create an imaginary one with their new found skill. For the occasion, the filming crew documented a skateboard workshop at our office in Lachine and interviewed some of the kids there about their involvement in the workshop and the impact it had in their lives.
