Serving simultaneously as a site for the circulation of ideas, a space for encounters, and a hub of political engagement, the bookstore played a central role in shaping queer communities at a time when visible spaces of sociability were rare and often precarious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drawing on this legacy, the artists\u2013who never experienced L\u2019Androgyne as an active space\u2013set in motion intergenerational transmission, offering traces in which erased narratives resurface. The exhibition thus examines the persistence of queer memory and considers how a place that no longer exists continues to generate meaning, connection, and collective forms of gathering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ARTISTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fernando belote<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">naakita f.k.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lou Fozin<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Em Laferri\u00e8re<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lucas LaRochelle<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kimura byol lemoine<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flora Nwakobi<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joshua Schwebel<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lou Sheppard<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>VERNISSAGE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thursday, January 29, 2026<br \/>\n6pm until late<\/p>\n<p>Program :&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Performance by fernando belote<\/li>\n<li>Launching of Librairie SKOL, renamed L&#8217;Androgyne for the duration of the exhibition<\/li>\n<li>Launching of caf\u00e9 space, with barista-in-residence <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wenhui Zhang, fondatrice du projet Th\u00e9 Jinjin<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warmest thanks to our programming committee :<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Magali Babin, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Th\u00e9o Bignon, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agla\u00eb Brown, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Victoria Carrasco, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Claudia Chan Tak, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vincent Fortier, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steve Giasson, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yasmeen Kanaan, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gauthier Kria\u00e2, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kama La Mackerel, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kimura byol lemoine, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fabien Marcil, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helena Martin Franco, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VK Preston, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Prost, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alexandra Riesbri, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mich\u00e8le St-Amand, Florent To Lay, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sarah Toung ondo<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collective exhibition January 29 to April 11, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25600,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[113,18,39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-programming","category-upcoming"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>R\u00e9veiller L&#039;Androgyne.
