Stefan Christoff Collection: Montréal Social Justice Activism in Print (2000-2025)

This exhibition showcases print material created in the context of different community organizing campaigns and grassroots collective struggles in Montréal. The works on public display include zines, posters and photographs.
The exhibition will be running up until March 25, 2026, at the Webster Library.

Curated by community organizer, artist and Concordia graduate student in the History Department, Stefan Christoff, all the selected materials are a part of a recently acquired special collection, the Stefan Christoff Collection (CO47), housed in Concordia’s Special Collections and Archives.

February 18th | Shift Centre (LB 145), 1400 Boulevard de Maisonneuve Ouest | 5:00 – 7:00 PM 

At the launch, we will be joined by History department professor and educator Désirée Rochat who will share her experiences in doing long term detailed archival work within Black community organizations and arts spaces. Christeen Francis, a member of the Justseeds artists’ cooperative will be present to share about her work at the frontlines of alternative print culture and social movements. Christeen is currently teaching Print Media classes at Concordia. Joseph Sannicandro will join the event to share perspectives on the sound installation element that is a part of the exhibition, playing in the stairwell at the downtown library throughout the exhibition on social justice activism.

This event will include live silk-screen printing of a screen supporting the housing justice movement, coming out of the housingjustice.now gathering last spring.
