Je suis à Alger, je prends la carte de Montréal.

J’encercle et ça va être dans ce coin-là : Ahuntsic-Cartierville.
Je ne connaissais pas le quartier, […] mais comme à Alger […]
je voulais qu’il y ait une source d’eau.
Il y avait la Rivière-des-Prairies, c’était parfait!

Les voix de Bordeaux-Cartierville podcast recounts moments in the lives of people who live, transit or work in the Bordeaux-Cartierville district of Montreal.
23 sound capsules (10 episodes and 13 portraits) make up this ethno-documentary mosaic, produced between summer 2020 and spring 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. In all, 11 ethnographer-storytellers interviewed over 100 citizens aged 3 to 98, from more than 27 countries of origin, to draw a portrait of this relatively unknown Montreal neighborhood.
The 10 episodes are built around multiple recordings that highlight inspirational quotes and connect different life stories. Each episode lasts an average of twenty minutes. The portraits will introduce you to exceptional women from a wide range of backgrounds. They are created from a single interview and last less than 10 minutes.
You are therefore the privileged witnesses of the fruit of a field job where the desire for relational moments waltzes with the technical challenges generated by the health crisis.
