Winning the international design compétition Place Des Montréalaises PDM with Lemay in 2018 in a significant geographic public space has a mandate to pay tribute to twenty-one women as selected by the council of women in Montreal. The complexity and politically charged mandate in commemorating twenty-one women has allowed me to continue my explorations through text and language-based methods archaeologies of inscription developed from my practice applying these at the intersection of gender and social justice commemorative strategies. PDM is a laboratory to continue testing ideas in relation to language, text, materials and the body in public urban space.
