Chanteuse d’origine libanaise, Lamia Yared puise son répertoire dans les chants traditionnels et folkloriques arabes. Elle s’accompagne au oud pour chanter ces mélodies syriennes et égyptiennes. Avec son groupe Zaman, elle présente des concerts depuis 2014. Cette performance sera présentée en collaboration avec le percussioniste Nathaniel Huard. / A singer of Lebanese origin, Lamia Yared‘s work is rooted in a repertoire of traditional and folkloric arabic songs.

Shanice Nicole is a Black feminist educator, facilitator, writer, and spoken word artist living and loving in Montreal. She discovered poetry in the summer of 2015 and now uses it as a form of expression, healing and resistance in her fight for social justice. Shanice Nicole’s writing explores race, feminism, mental health and sexuality but most importantly represents the many layers of her Black womanhood. Connect with her on Instagram at @ThatsWhatShaSaid.

Skin Tone is the solo performance practice of Jaames Nicholas Dumile Willoughby. Skin tone incorporates story-telling, tap dancing, saxophone and electronics to explore issues around marginalization, race, and futurity. Sometimes remixing the black literary canon over ambient pulses, other times unleashing squalls of skronk. Goddard, who is based in Montréal, can also be found playing sax in a wide-range of other projects (NYON, Platitudes, etc) and is currently developing the inaugural Congress of Radical Futurism.

Mixed with Dust is Kaie Kellough (http://kaie.ca/) on voice / elections & Stefan Christoff on echo guitar / keyboards.
