Manifeste is located at Aire Banque Nationale, a public space on the corner of Amherst St. and St. Catherine St. E. in Montreal’s Ville-Marie, it is inspired by the last sentence of the Aires Libres manifesto written by Guy Corriveau: A time will come where you can express yourself freely.

Set in the heart of the Montreal’s Gay Village, Manifeste can only be revealed and decoded under certain angles. To read it, one must step backwards to Wolfe St., and then find the right angle. To fully experience it, one can leisurely penetrate its vertical forms, or thread one’s way through the tubes supporting the illuminating letters.  Night or day, Manifeste is a reminder that vital thoughts and reflections surround us without being noticed and that sometimes a slight change in perspective suddenly places us in front of what is apparent. On occasion, when we are not seeing the forest for the trees, the crown of high forest reveals a message of hope.
