Sprouting from Ruins

What if the future wasn’t decided from above, but right here, on the street corner?

In a working-class neighborhood of Quebec City, an old municipal garage becomes the stage for a clash between two visions of the world. On one side, the city dreams of turning it into a hub for high technology; on the other, residents imagine a vibrant, community-rooted space where mutual aid, autonomy, and solidarity can take hold. As bulldozers loom on the horizon, a citizen-led movement begins to organize, reclaim what belongs to them, and rebuild the fabric of their community. What if the future wasn’t decided from above, but right here, on the street corner?
