'zine launch + presentation + planting DRAWN & QUARTERLY in Montreal. Wednesday, May 22, 5@7. This May, Sprout Out Loud! would like to introduce and celebrate their newest issue #2 with the Montreal public: Occupy the Streets with Land Art & Guerilla Gardening, offered by Emily Rose Michaud. Join us for a bilingual visual presentation on Guerilla Gardens and Land Art followed by a hands-on planting. The presentation will highlight citizen-led gardening initiatives and their ties to grassroots social movements; look at the nature of engagement as it pertains to land use and participatory democracy and re-affirm the need for the poetic, political and public when it comes to art and action. Considering our role as social and cultural pollinators at both the local and international level, simple gestures will be highlighted: ones which are inclusive, concrete, creative, inter-generational and life-affirming. When it comes to the built and natural spaces that compose our lives, this presentation aims to invigorate a radical re-imagining of our cities and villages and how we may (re)shape them. Sprout Out Loud’s second issue archives the contributions of engaged artists, citizens, activists and gardeners from Canada and beyond with submissions by: Sean Martindale, Sara Torrie, Norman Nawrocki, Anne Goldenberg, Dominique Ferraton, Andrew Mckay, Kimberley Mok, Bruce Cawdron, Kendra Besanger, Matthew Bennett, Scott Duncan, Hélène Cadieux, Gelareh Saadatpajouh & Talayeh Hamidya.
