Mes Mots, Mon Quartier<\/em> is a geolocated poetry trail initially created in 2019 in Montreal's Old Rosemont district.<\/p>

Produced by TOPO - Centre de cr\u00e9ation num\u00e9rique, under the artistic direction of empo\u00e9tineuse Caroline Barber, we collected words and anecdotes associated with a specific place in the territory, then created poetic phrases using the words collected via our word boxes and during creative workshops in four partner locations: the Rosemont library, the Oasis des enfants, Acc\u00e8s-Cible and the Petite C\u00f4te community center.<\/p>

These playful and creative encounters have resulted in the collection of almost 300 words associated with anecdotes that can be found on the mesmots.ca website, created with interactive designer Yannick Gu\u00e9guen. The site can be consulted on the computer, but also by taking a stroll around the neighborhood with a cell phone, an unusual way to see the streets, alleyways and other memorable places in history.<\/p>

And now: take part in the Virtual Word Box<\/h4>

Interrupted in winter 2020 by the pandemic, the collection of words and anecdotes has continued with the virtual Bo\u00eete \u00e0 mots. Click on the PARTICIPATE button on mesmots.ca<\/a>, write an anecdote related to your neighborhood, area of residence or living environment, choose a word related to this anecdote, specify the address or precise location of your anecdote and then have fun with the Mes Mots, Mon Po\u00e8me poetic creation application. It's easy and fun!<\/p>

Poetry walks in Old Rosemont<\/h4>

For the start of the school year in September 2020, poetry walks with street theater troupe Toxique Trottoir were scheduled in Old Rosemont, but had to be postponed due to reconfinement. They finally took place in September 2021.<\/p>

Drawing on the mesmots.ca website's repertoire of anecdotes and poetic phrases, Toxique Trottoir animated five poetic strolls bringing to life the testimonials from the cultural mediation project.<\/p>
