The housing crisis in several cities in Quebec, and in other Canadian provinces, in the United States, and elsewhere in the world, remains one of the triggers that accentuates homelessness. An increasingly visible phenomenon, homelessness is often invisibilized by urban strategies such as hostile design or the dismantling of urban camps.
Homelessness will be at the heart of the exhibition (IN)VISIBLE: Design through the Prism of Homelessness, presented by the UQAM Design Centre, in collaboration with Architecture Without Borders Quebec (ASFQ), professor Carolyne Grimard of the École de travail social at the Université de Montréal, and with the participation, among others, of Anne-Marie Broudehoux, professor at the École de design at UQAM.
