Perspectives and the Future of the Creative Economy
Understanding the challenges of discoverability to make music accessible
At the intersection of migration trajectories and Québec’s cultural ecosystems, this episode explores the priorities that should guide efforts around discoverability. Caroline Marcoux-Gendron, Affiliated Professor at the Université du Québec à Montréal, and Romuald Jamet, Associate Professor at INRS, discuss the distinctive features of Québec’s music landscape: its linguistic, institutional, and cultural dynamics, as well as the recognition biases that affect, among others, artists from immigrant backgrounds.
CREATivity in Action: Stories of Digital Practices
Digital creativity is transforming the ways we produce and interact. Two researchers from CREAT—Philippe Vaucher, professor in the Unité d’enseignement et de recherche en création et nouveaux médias at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT), and Louis-Philippe Rondeau, also a professor at the École des arts numériques de l’animation et du design at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (NAD/UQAC)—shed light on current innovations in this field.

Music & Immigration project
The Discoverability Axis supported the production of an outreach video related to the project Music & Immigration, an online cultural mapping initiative highlighting the musical practices of professional immigrant artists in Quebec.
The project is led by two CREAT members: Caroline Marcoux Gendron (UQAM), collaborator of the Discoverability Axis, and Guillaume Blum (ÉTS), Head of the Axis. It is part of ongoing research on the visibility and accessibility of cultural content.
What Is Creative Economy?
Short videos in which the Arts and Health Axis team asked members of the public, on the spot, to share their definition of the creative economy. Take a listen—we captured sparks of imagination that reveal the richness and diversity of this concept!
