Art POP and POP Montreal are excited to announce the opening for their exhibition, //At a distance – from within//, which focuses on presenting works related to and created by artists from diverse backgrounds and diasporas.

This vernissage will also host a DJ night featuring DJ Podrido who will play disco, soul, and salsa vinyls.

• Jin Heewoong
• Kuh del Rosario
• Laura Acosta and Santiago Tavera
• Melissa Raymond and René Sandín
• My-Van Dam
• Par Nair
• Santiago Tamayo Soler.

//At a distance – from within// draws from the allegory of the seed as an entity that creates a sense of rhizomatic placemaking. This relational form of placemaking refers then to the flourishing of communities, practices, and exchanges that come from diverse and multiple diasporas. The exhibition explores the concept of diaspora through the use of texts by diasporic Caribbean writers, such as Stuart Hall, and Édouard Glissant, among others.
