MAUREEN XI Artist Panel Discussion!

Come join us tomorrow Saturday May 23, 4pm at Parquette for the MAUREEN XI Artist Panel Discussion, on the topic of community-building and art.

Surrounded by the incredible creativity of Concordia MFA Studio Arts students’ artworks on display at DIY community center Parquette, our discussion will feature contributors to the 2026 Group Show (Malina Cailean, Monday P. Einstein, Atticus Hamer, Fanny Jane, Jenn Kitagawa, Michael Malenfant, Michelle Nguyen, Sylvia Rack). It will address how in an era of tumultuous geopolitics and cratering capitalism, artistic practice can enable community-building in the present and chart collective courses to come.
——
Table ronde d’artistes MAUREEN XI ! Rejoignez-nous demain, samedi 23 mai, à 16 h à Parquette pour la table ronde d’artistes MAUREEN XI, sur le thème de l’art et du développement communautaire.

It’s happening! MAUREEN XI vernissage today 6-11pm @_parquette @concordiamfa @fineartsconcordia 1345 rue de Bellechasse

Français à suivre....

MAUREEN XI: Concordia Master of Fine Arts group exhibition at Parquette
May 21-25, 2026 | Vernissage: May 21st, 6pm

The 11th Concordia MFA annual group exhibition MAUREEN XI will be held at @Parquette (1345 Rue de Bellechasse) from May 21st to 25th, 2026. Vernissage: May 21st from 6pm to 11pm with a live set starting at 9pm. 

MAUREEN XI is curated through a collaboration between the Concordia MFA Studio Arts Students Association and students from the inaugural Curatorial Studies and Practices Program. The exhibition represents a diverse range of artistic voices and mediums—from fibres and material practices, painting and drawing, intermedia, photography, sculpture and ceramics.

In these times of conflict, political uncertainty, and institutional meltdown, MAUREEN XI highlights the power of art to inspire and to enable difficult conversations, model collectivity, and encourage us to build better worlds. This year’s venue, Parquette, is described as “a raw, DIY space made by and for the community, full of care, character, and unexpected corners to explore.” This multi-use space is a success story of how art venues can be shaped by the needs of the communities they serve. Expect to see works that reflect this ethos of care through the distinct voices and sensibilities that make up the MFA program. 
Named after Maureen Kennedy, our beloved arts administrator extraordinaire, this year’s edition is also a send off for Maureen, who after 30+ years of dedication to the program has retired. 

Join us May 21, from 6 to 9pm, followed by a dance party and DJ set from Sobaka, until late!!, followed by a dance party, until late!! It will be a dry celebration with delicious snacks, food and (non-alcoholic) beverages sold by Parquette.

Po B. K. Lomami is an indisciplinary and interventionist artist-researcher and teacher. They are a Congodescendant from Belgium based in Tiohtià:ke-Mooniyang-Montreal since 2017. Interested in the process between action and inaction, they question people, institutions, and themselves through affection, strength, the absurd, the everyday, and data.

Join us at Parquette on April 27th for a 5 à 7 with four, short artists’ talks in honour of current exhibitions at FOFA Gallery (Po. B. K. Lomami and Abi Hodson) and Warren G. Flowers Gallery (Josh Vettivelu and Alex V. Pouliot). Together, the four artists’ practices chart material resonances through vast systems of power. Across methods including wood carving, ceramics, glass work, and digital media, these recent exhibitions examine overlapping architectures, inviting us to find and share in what can still be touched, counted, repaired, and destroyed.

PrizeTalks is a series of artist-led events that highlight contributions from our strong community of artists, educators, and organizations who put action behind their beliefs and refuse to provide cover for artwashing of genocide.

Prize Talks is almost here! Who are you going with? Bring a friend or two or three, and celebrate the end of the semester in community.

Joshua Vettivelu is an artist working within sculpture and installation. Their work explores how power materializes within interpersonal relationships.

Join us at Parquette on April 27th for a 5 à 7 with four, short artists’ talks in honour of current exhibitions at FOFA Gallery (Po. B. K. Lomami and Abi Hodson) and Warren G. Flowers Gallery (Josh Vettivelu and Alex V. Pouliot). Together, the four artists’ practices chart material resonances through vast systems of power. Across methods including wood carving, ceramics, glass work, and digital media, these recent exhibitions examine overlapping architectures, inviting us to find and share in what can still be touched, counted, repaired, and destroyed.

PrizeTalks is a series of artist-led events that highlight contributions from our strong community of artists, educators, and organizations who put action behind their beliefs and refuse to provide cover for artwashing of genocide.

Poet, interdisciplinary artist, printer and bookmaker, Alex V. Pouliot’s practice seeks to conjure the powers at play within the making of the visual and sensorial experiences through which an individual forges oneself. Often created and shown in relation to site-specific contexts, his work has been shown in exhibitions and festivals, both locally and abroad.
