Project: Montr茅al neighborhoods
McConnell Professor of Practice at CIRM since 2024, Michel Hellman would like to work on a cartographic comic book project on Montr茅al neighborhoods. The book would bring together portraits, stories, anecdotes and slices of life in comic strip form. It would not be a simple census of Montr茅al's different neighborhoods, but rather an attempt to capture the pulse of what constitutes the experience of a neighborhood community, focusing on the specific point of view of its inhabitants. The aim would be to present a "sensitive" cartography (one that records the personal experience of the territory) using the narrative techniques and visual vocabulary specific to comics.
