You probably know TOHU as a place to see circus shows. But did you know that TOHU also serves as Maison de la culture for the St-Michel district? Thus, TOHU’s mission also includes hosting free cultural events. This month, see AfrikÉcoArt, an exhibition of recycled art that deals with overconsumption.

Haitian-born painter Marie-Denise Douyon has lived and worked in Montreal since 1991. Affected by climate change, the artist wonders about the environmental impact of overconsumption. She recovers all kinds of used objects (bicycles parts, computer circuits and picture negatives) to create her works, midway between painting and sculpture.

The Afrikecoart exhibit is presented for free at TOHU until April 17.
