Three students from Université de Montréal (UdeM) have been awarded the Hexagram-UdeM grant for their research-creation works. This grant program aims to support the relevance and originality of research-creation initiatives by providing financial assistance of $2,500 to help students successfully implement them within the framework of their graduate studies.

The laureates of this year are:

Alexandre Campeau-Vallée, PhD candidate in Art History, research-creation option.

Alexandre has been awarded the grant for his project entitled Concevoir un dispositif pour exposer la recherche-création. In preparation for his exhibition at the Niagara Falls History Museum, he will develop a device that facilitates a dialogue between his photographs and the museum’s artifacts, designed in the manner of a landscape architecture studio.

Saadi Daftari, master’s student in Music, Composition and Sound Creation option.

Saadi’s project Synergie de la connaissance was awarded for its innovative approach to composing and creating sonic installations that position sound as an agent of knowledge. Furthermore, Saadi’s work explores how listening can be used to examine contemporary social issues.

Capucine Destoc, master’s student in Cinema, research-creation option.

Capucine has received the grant for her project Le geste improvisateur au cinéma : intention et attention collectives du film en train de se faire. She explores the potential of improvisation in cinema. Specifically, how improvisational gestures can deploy within a collective frame and redefine power dynamics and creative processes at different stages of a film’s production and projection.

Congratulations to the laureates for their contributions to research-creation and the Hexagram Network!
