État d'Urgence takes place over a period of four days, around the clock, at Montreal’s Place Émilie-Gamelin, and brings together the general public and those citizens who experience homelessness on a daily basis: the homeless. This ephemeral village has allowed well-known and up-and-coming artists from all disciplines, to express their thoughts on homelessness and precarity in aesthetic and human terms, and to present their work in a setting conducive to direct encounter and concrete aid.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DON’T QUITE FIT INTO THE “PACKAGE”? A satirical critique of the glossy, squeaky-clean view of the world championed by travel agency brochures, which extol happiness as an all-inclusive package deal, the theme for the 2010 edition will mark a watershed for the event, with ATSA providing its own take on the whole aesthetic of the ALL-INCLUSIVE (bracelet, palm tree, deck chairs and parasols), questioning the phenomena of normalization, delegated control, institutionalized convenience, and the instant, all-you-want mindset. It promises to be the most impactful État d’Urgence yet.

Beyond the ALL-INCLUSIVE, ATSA aims to emphasize respect, integration and coming together: the ALL INCLUDED.
