Située dans la partie Ouest de Ville-Marie, le centre névralgique montréalais, le quartier doit sa vocation actuelle à la présence de l&#8217;Université Concordia, une institution anglophone regroupant plusieurs facultés et écoles sur son campus urbain (Sir George [...]]]></description>

DCorbeil &#124; Passage, Montréal 2010
Guy-Concordia Station : 18h37. Il y à cette foule touffue, opaque, qui me traverse sans même me voir. Je suis là, pourtant, à multiplier les clichés de cette cohue fébrile et qui s&#8217;agglutine, comme le mercure qui se déverse sur le sol.

Street art in Hong Kong tends to be limited to specific areas and the scene is dominated by a handful of very prolific artists, like Start from Zero and Graphic Airlines, who work mainly with posters, stencil art and stickers. In a few corners of town, though, it&#8217;s possible to find clusters of exuberantly traditional [...]]]></description>

Children and adults alike have long built fantasy cities out of Lego. But Jan Vormann seems like he&#8217;s on a mission to patch all the holes, cracks, and fissures in the walls of the world&#8217;s existing cities with the colorful toy bricks. As part of his Dispatchwork [...]]]></description>

Lunchtime brings Bangkok&#8217;s street vendors out in force, especially in the business districts like Asoke Road. That&#8217;s where I spotted this woman selling dried fish with some stale-looking limes.
