SUMMARY:Back River Cemetery Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Sonia Bazar for a walking tour of the Back River Cemetery and Memorial Gardens. One of the city’s oldest Jewish cemeteries located in Ahuntsic-Cartierville\, this burial ground plays a fascinating yet overlooked role in Montreal’s Jewish history. \nLearn all about the cemetery’s tumultuous 140-year history as Bazar dives into the circumstances behind its founding\, evolution\, and near-abandonment. Informed by research conducted by Bazar\, Dr. Anna Sheftel\, and other collaborators at Concordia University\, guests will leave with unique insight into this overlooked and enigmatic place in Montreal’s landscape. \nA Q&A will follow the guided tour. \nThe tour will take place in English\, but guests are welcome to ask questions in French. \nTicket Rates:\nAdults: $26\nAges 65+: $24\nStudents: $14\nAges 12 and Under: $8 \nAs capacity is limited\, we encourage guests to register in advance. \nPoint of Departure: We will meet outside of the northern exit of Sauvé Metro\, on the northwest corner of Rue Sauvé and Rue Berri. We advise guests to wear appropriate footwear\, and to be mindful of their surroundings as some areas of the cemetery’s terrain are crowded and uneven. \nWeather Policy: In the event of light rain\, the tour will go on as scheduled. If there is a strong warning of heavy rain and/or thunderstorms\, the tour will be postponed. All registrants will have the option to attend the rescheduled tour. \nSonia Bazar is a Montreal-born and based artist\, who holds an MFA in Photography from Concordia University. Through sculpture\, photography and poetry\, their practice examines the notion of alien landscapes and how the body belongs to space. Sonia’s work has been shown in Canada\, Germany\, and Spain. In 2023\, Bazar presented her multidisciplinary practice in the exhibition BACK RIVER at the Montreal Jewish Museum.
