Verticale mounts an exhibition of Montreal artist Jamie Ross that features his collaborative work, bound with a queer ritual sensibility. The artist is interested in minority religious expression in Québécois and Canadian art history, particularly in the current climate of intolerance towards certain religious faiths.
For this second phase of the project, Jamie Ross hosts a round table discussion with two scholars of religion and society, followed by a stroll through the landscape of Laval neighbourhood of St-Vincent-de-Paul, dominated by the institutions of church and incarceration that line the banks of the rivière des Prairies across from Montreal.
