Conversations Montréal | Lyon was initiated by curators Marthe Carrier and Chloé Grondeau and spearheaded by Galerie B-312 in Montreal. It has since become an avenue of exchange between Lyon and Montreal, with a particular emphasis on showcasing the local art scene in each city.

Through this exhibition's program, curators Ricardo Mbarak and Wadih Safieddine have focused on works that address the question of identity. The selection shows several positions of artists who privilege in their works criteria related to their environment.
