Meeting with Atelier Universel
Atelier Universel is an artisanal printing and bookbinding studio, a well-kept secret from the industrial neighborhood of old Rosemont. Since 2016, Stéphanie St-Jean Aubre and Manuel Mineau have been working to offer a personalized service to a wide range of artists, entrepreneurs and artisans.
Cheville, what binds us: meeting with the artists behind the exhibition
I went to meet Sophia Borowska and Teresa Dorey, respectively weaving artist and ceramic artist, who exhibited at galerie atelier b for the Cheville, exhibition last September. We discussed their practices and inspirations, but also feminism, precariousness and the importance of community.
Our favourite spots in Mile End (and nearby)
Even before the shop in Mile End, Catherine and I were already regular visitors. We’d bike up from Verdun on weekends and spend the day exploring the bustling streets and stores. The neighborhood has changed a lot over the past ten years, but that same vibrant feeling is still there.
