Poème en août and Rencontres de la photographie en Gaspésie invite the public to a special evening dedicated to the dialogue between photography and poetry.
For one night only, the barn at Poème en août will showcase the light-box exhibition Les Voix and the launch of the accompanying, a collaborative creation by the artist Alessandra Calò (Italy) and poet France Cayouette (Québec).
Saturday October 18th 2025, 5pm
Poème en août – 25 Route du 2e-Rang, Maria (QC) G0C 1Y0, Canada
The evening will feature the exhibition opening, a poetry reading by France Cayouette, a warm soup and aperitif, and a conversation with the two artists about their creative process, moderated by Suzie from Poème en août.
Developed during a joint artistic residency in the summer of 2024 in the Baie-des-Chaleurs, Les Voix brings together archival photographs and stories shared by Gaspésie residents to create a poetic and contemporary portrait of the region through the combined lens of photography and poetry.
This initiative is presented in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Montréal, partner of Rencontres de la photographie en Gaspésie for this project.
