Montreal Events

In the early 20th century, a new wave of European immigrants made its way to Québec and to Montréal. Among them were thousands of Italians who brought with them their traditions, their values, and their customs, going on to form one of the oldest and largest immigrant cultural communities in Montréal.

Showcasing the community’s important contribution to economic, social, and cultural life in Montréal—as well as its ingenuity, talent, and resilience—Pointe-à-Callière, thanks to the support of the IIC, is presenting the exhibition Italian Montréal. This exhibition will shine a spotlight on the daily lives of Montréal’s earliest Italian immigrants and on the ways in which the community has evolved over the past century—with a quarter of a million Montrealers today describing themselves as having Italian roots.

A talk by filmmaker Max Leonida (William Penn University)

Originally & loosely based on Joseph Conrad’s 1899 novel Heart of Darkness, Francis Ford Coppola’s epic war film is the arrival point of an artistic & spiritual thread that connects Homer’s Odyssey, Dante’s Divine Comedy & Coppola’s Apocalypse Now. The intimate connection between these three masterpieces will be fully explained & revealed, strongly corroborated by literary sources, historical facts, philosophical phenomena & cultural references.

2. Diagnostics and technologies applied to conservation

3. Museum professions

Each session will host a series of presentations, selected through a call for abstracts that will expire on May 9th, 2021.

Young Professionals Forum is aimed at young professionals by offering a platform for exchange and sharing and stimulating the synergy between restorers, conservators, art historians and scientists at an international level: the goal is to create networks that last over time, to enhance the interdisciplinarity and the experiences of individuals to build a common vision
