Origamilitantisme: rêvons de la paix
En collaboration avec le Cercle de Paix, nous invitons au public de venir exprimer vos idées sur la paix, la guerre, l`action civile, en forme de poésie, lettres, dessins, ensuite de faire des origamis et de participer à l`installation avec nous, entre 13h00 et 16h00 à la Place de la Paix. Arriver, partir quand vous voulez…
Nous sommes présentement au bord du précipice d’une autre guerre au moyen-est, au monde arabe. Est-ce que le peuple Québécois ou Canadien a eu la chance de partager son opinion dans un forum public? Avez-vous une opinion forte (ou faible) là-dessus? Venez partager avec nous des pensées pour la paix.
Origamilitantisme vous invite à participer dans une intervention publique qui se transformera en performance à Montpelier, Vermont au mois de janvier, 2014.Peace,

Letter of Intent – Origamilitantisme
Origami is a traditional Japanese art form involving the folding and/or moulding of squares of paper to produce a three-dimensional object, often an animal or geometric figure. Although not traditionally associated with Zen Buddhism, but more with cultural events such as weddings, funerals, or well-wishing for sick patients, origami nonetheless has a meditative appeal, both in its symbolic meaning and in the practice of paper-folding itself.
The repetitive nature of having to produce hundreds of paper Pelicans for a performance event is a meditation in and of itself, involving many hours of quiet activity and contemplation. The quiet folding transcends the body and infuses the mind with a spirit of peace. As such, we enter the fray of a public demonstration to deliver a peaceful message by peaceful means, adding joy and colour to an often chaotic and aggressive atmosphere.
This action stands in counterpoint to what we have often seen in the streets of Montreal over the past year, on the part of both police and protesters alike, during the various public protests that have taken place. Often associated with the wish for healing, the origami performances of Origamilitantisme are intended to inspire a nonviolent resolution to the conflicts that exist in our community today, particularly around the limits placed on the freedoms of association, assembly and expression as restricted in the municipal bylaw P-6.

Artistic Approach - Origamilitantisme:
Action on the 22nd of April, 2013
Title: Protesting Pelicans
Total Dimension of on site installation: approximately 40 feet long x 10 feet wide
Material used: Red Paper squares (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches) turned into Origami Pelicans totaling in 800 Origami Pelicans
Text inside Origami: On the one side of the red square you will find article 48 from the Police code of conduct (2000, c. 12, a. 48.) and on the other side you will read the SPVM’s vision, definition, roles and responsibilities towards Montrealers which is taken from their own website.
Origamilitantisme is a collaboration of several artists and activists fighting against the present municipal bylaw P-6 in Montreal. During recent protests, our actions and artistic performances in public spaces have allowed us to represent our fundamental human rights to freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of thought and peaceful assembly.
The use of Origami and Art as key catalysts for social change cultivates awareness, discourse and action in support of the recent protests in and around the Montreal area.
The Pelican has been chosen as the first Origami symbol for our performances because it represents teamwork, group dynamics, regeneration, and resourcefulness. The Pelican also speaks of resilience and determination.
As you unfold the Origami, the paper Pelican transforms into a red square which is the primary symbol used in the student protests. On the one side of the red square you will find article 48 from the Police code of conduct (2000, c. 12, a. 48.) and on the other side you will read the SPVM’s vision, definition, roles and responsibilities towards Montrealers which is taken from their own website. Origamilitantisme wishes to remind the SPVM once again of their promised commitment to ensure a respectful and harmonious relationship with all Montrealers including present protesters.
Throughout the summer and fall 2013, Origamilitantisme will continue its pursuit and use of peaceful resistance during the various protests in and around Montreal. Each performance and action will be unique for each protest; the texts on the paper will change depending on the development of the municipal bylaw P-6 as well as the various events occurring in and around the many protests. Consequently to these happenings, the Origami model will develop as well; changing form, color and size. The performance and action will also evolve in accordance to the complicated relationship between the protesters and the police. We believe these changes are symbolic to the continued solidarity and commitment of the protesters and the support of our rights and freedom of assembly, expression, thought and democratizing our public spaces.
For our next intervention, Origamilitantisme will be using yellow Origami Pelicans; with these bright colored birds will hold a new text and image inside. If you would like to see more images of the new Origamilitantisme performances please go to our Facebook page to view more recent documentation of the event.
