In Conversation with Yassin: On Futurism, New Systems and Building

Join us for a discussion and conversation about art and the role of culture in changing our day to day world. Functioning as an Independent multi-media artist and professor for over a decade, NARCY (Yassin) shares his ethos with us and the lessons of his journey to reflect on what we could look into building for a better future outside of industry confines of the arts.

We'll be at Café PaperHill, steps from the metro, where we'll have access to their beautiful terrasse — perfect timing for a Montreal summerish evening. A menu is available if you'd like to grab a bite after work or you can pre-order to avoid any hassle.

DOOR OPEN at 6:00 PM for mingling.

TALK begins at 7:00 PM.

Tickets INCLUDE A DRINK of your choice.

About Yassin: Yassin Alsalman, known as NARCY, is a multi-media artist, musician, academic, and author who has carved his own lane at the intersection of Hip-Hop and Arab Identity art. A Juno-nominated artist, he has collaborated with the likes of yasiin bey and Yo-Yo Ma, published books, co-owns Maktaba bookshop, and founded the transmedia collective WeAreTheMedium, all in service of one relentless pursuit: spreading the belief that independence is the new major and new systems are the future.
