In 2021, Mandoline Hybride was launching a series of monthly meetings to better understand the Mi'kmaq culture and learn the language. Thanks to a partnership with Culture Gaspésie, these warm sessions will be back on January 30th 2022! The last Sunday of each month on Zoom at 4pm, we will share an informal and friendly moment with Gesgapegiag artist Darlene Gijuminag.

These sessions are free and open to anyone who wants to learn more about Mi'kmaq culture, discuss Indigenous and non-Indigenous realities, or simply learn a few words in Mi'gmaw, one of the many dialects of the Mi'kmaq Nation. Save the dates:

→ Sunday, January 30 at 4:00 pm
→ Sunday, February 27 at 4:00 pm
→ Sunday, March 27 at 4:00 pm
→ Sunday, April 24 at 4:00 pm
→ Sunday, May 29 at 4:00 pm

Last Saturday, Salon58 opened its doors one last time before going into hibernation. Artists Stéphane Maddix Albert (Cap-au-Renard) and Ariane DesLions (Sherbrooke) met the public at the end of their residency. The next activity planned at Salon58 will take place in the spring of 2022, it's a date!

Mandoline Hybride would like to thank its partners :

and also the municipality of Marsoui and the Comité de développement de Marsoui (CDM).

The Salon58 and FURIES projects benefit from financial support from the CLD and the MRC de La Haute-Gaspésie as part of the Cultural Development Agreement.

Based in Marsoui, Gespe'gewa'gi (Gaspésie), Mandoline Hybride supports the production of artistic initiatives targeting different communities, in addition to producing the creations of its director and founder Priscilla Guy. Find out more:
