Within the scope of this research, subsidized by the Fond québécois de recherche sur la société et la culture (FQRSC), the L.e.a.p. team is preparing a publication and an exhibition in collaboration with the Centre de design de l’UQAM, for autumn 2006. The exhibition will take place at the Centre de design in Montreal from November 9th to December 17th inclusively. The work will then travel to La Pulperie in Chicoutimi, to the Musée régional de Rimouski, and to Paris’ Pavillon de l’Arsenal.
