SUMMARY:re:source – making materials matter
DESCRIPTION:re:source is an exhibition of creative re-imagining\, the act of finding and using materials over again or for a purpose not originally intended.

SUMMARY:AFKO FAIT SON SHOW – LA PATENTE
DESCRIPTION:La Patente is a party that’s been going strong for almost 5 years\, without ever running out of steam. The group returns with “Le cirque des mal-aimés”\, a folk-rock album that feels like its both covered with sawdust and scented with the bottom of a whisky barrel. Rising from the dark recesses of New Brunswick to set the stage ablaze\, the quartet presents a raw and uncompromising cocktail of punk-rock and country-folk offset by a unique contemporary splash! \n\nSince their debut in 2020\, the band has taken the stage to perform some 200 shows in five countries on both sides of the Atlantic. This success is reflected in an accumulation of nominations and awards at ECMA\, GAMIQ\, MNB\, FrancoFête en Acadie\, and Harvest Music Festival\, as well as repeated appearances at major events and on notable broadcasts. Fuelled by a tireless festive good humour\, LA PATENTE leaves behind the lasting memory of a good night complete with sore dance-stepping muscles and satisfied mornings-after. \n\nLA PATENTE is : \nMarc Colecchio (lyrics\, vocals\, guitar) \nMathieu Emond (banjo\, vocals) \nMarc-André Godin (upright bass\, vocals) \nJean-Denis Migneault (drums\, vocals)
