” The day I moved to Hochelaga, I took a walk around my new neighborhood. As I passed L’imprimerie, I thought how nice it must be to work there. I don’t know why, a daydream, a hunch? Maybe I was hoping to be able to print my own pictures and texts, make my own little books or learn new techniques. A few weeks later, my roommate sent me a job offer for a position at L’imprimerie; I didn’t hesitate, I applied. I’m really happy to have been able to join this bright, dedicated team, to work in such a pleasant setting, to be able to observe all these concentrated artists working on their personal projects, focused but always ready to share their research and questioning. It’s a real treat to be able to witness the exchanges between the artists, to hear their discussions in the workshop in the background. I know that L’imprimerie is an essential place for the community, as much for neighborhood life as for the flourishing of art, a practice that is accessible and democratic here, creating social ties and solidarity between the human beings who engage in it. Finally, I hold in high esteem the humanist and inclusive values espoused by L’imprimerie, values that are in fact invaluable, making this a place where I feel at home. Where, for a rare occasion, I’ve been offered the chance to blossom. ”
