• Leduc Park

  • The Queer Memory Wall is a dynamic and sensitive space that invites the public to discover, during the community days on August 7 and 8, 2026, in the Village on Sainte-Catherine Street East, snippets of the life stories of older members of the community. Through portraits and short testimonials, the project highlights life stories that are often overlooked and pays tribute to the generations that shaped today’s struggles and achievements. By highlighting these stories, the initiative raises public awareness of the realities experienced by communities past and present, while fostering dialogue across generations and within 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Conceived as an open and evolving space, the installation becomes a collective work where each contribution enriches the shared memory. With the support of Fierté Montréal.
