Students from CREAT share their perspectives and research. From regional culture to the arts and health, as well as digital creativity and discoverability, these intersecting viewpoints offer an inspiring glimpse into the future of the creative economy and its impact on collective well-being.

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.

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.
