New Light / Nouvelle Lumière showcases new works from independant Outaouais artist-producers in performance, video, and multidisciplinary practice. Projects are developed over months of supported creation through STO Union’s Where We Meet pilot program. The projects are launched here with an eye on how they can further benefit the artist and/or community over the longer term.
The inaugural version of this travelling series will be at the iconic Kaffe 1870, in Wakefield, Quebec.

Shockadelica by Claire Bestland and Sheena Turcotte;
Confessions by Mat Falvai;
We Depend on You, a large-scale collaboration co-produced with Khewa Gallery and featuring music by Anachnid, choreography by Jean Grand-Maître, masks by Nathalie Coutou, video by Nadia Ross and co-created with students from the grade six classes at École Wakefield School;

Early iterations of a new work by David Taggart;
