My Woods

Opening Saturday, May 3th at 4pm

Mon boisé examines the forces in play when an urban woodland is threatened. Green spaces in the heart of the city, whose trees are often more than a hundred years old, are of great importance to the people who use them. For real estate developers, however, they represent a business opportunity. In Montreal, Saint-Bruno- de-Montarville and Quebec City, citizens and organisations are mobilising against this threat and to defend their rights, but the battle is often lopsided. Chevalier’s project, an extension of her contextual methodology, develops through field research that includes consultation, documentary research and discussions.
