Tricotés serrés
As part of this project, the Immigrant Committee will collaborate with Ève-Marie Langevin, artist-performer and "the people's knitter" to create cultural exchange workshops around a collective knitting project. During the project, themes of living together and intercultural rapprochement will be discussed. The sections of the collective knitting project will be assembled in Saint Laurent's public square (to be inaugurated in August 2017) and will thus serve as an element of public decoration. The population will be invited to add ornaments at the inauguration.
