SALAM TATA
What is it to be a child of immigrants in Montreal?
Salam Tata illustrates this complex identity through phone conversations with an aunt in Morocco, in contrast with the challenges and spaces to navigate in this diverse city of Montreal. Based on personal reflections, the work invites the audience to travel through the emotional journey of understanding ourselves, our origins, and choosing what place to occupy in Quebec.
