43. Grassroots: Community Writing 2002: The Architecture of Literacy (2002)
Series: Community Writing and the Arts
Authors: Centre for Literacy of Quebec
The 2002 Grassroots: Community Writing event was once again part of the Blue Metropolis Literary Festival. The festival theme was the architecture of language. The Centre for Literacy brought together storytellers and writers who have written and published in community-based settings rather than inside institutions, and who have built bridges among verbal, oral, and visual literacies.
This Grassroots coincided with an invitational national Symposium on Museums, Literacy, and the Arts, cosponsored by The Centre for Literacy with the Canadian Museums Association. This brought more than thirty participants from across Canada to discuss the possible ways in which the arts could work collaboratively with literacy organizations to strengthen their respective goals and engage more community-based involvement.

Series: Community Writing and the Arts
Authors: Centre for Literacy of Quebec
In 2003, in collaboration with Blue Metropolis, The Montreal International Literary Festival, The Centre for Literacy presented the fifth annual Grassroots: Community Writing and Arts event. This festival, "Reading And Writing the Word and the World", brought together writers and performers from street theatre in Vancouver and Toronto, from adult new writers' programs, from neighbourhood writing and film-production alliances, from youth antiviolence programs, and from community radio to share their perspectives on writing, listening and performing as ways of creating and reshaping their worlds. They shared their stories, poems, and performances, during a public reading and met in workshop format to explore how reading the word relates to reading the world, and to share experiences of using puppetry, mime, masks, poetry, music, photography and other modes of expression as literate practices.
