Based in Montreal’s South-West, the Ste-Emilie Skillshare is a politicized community art space run by a collective of trans people, queers and people of colour. We are artists and activists, working together within an anti-oppression framework and moving towards social transformation. As historically marginalized people, sharing our art and skills are revolutionary acts as the art we produce can be used as a tool for political change.

We host a fully-functional silkscreen studio, which is our primary way of
working with other communities and community organizations, but we
also host workshops, film screenings, vernissages, parties and kids'
days.  We see the teaching and making of art by marginalized
communities as an important component of anti-oppressive organizing.
