Alexandra Kirsh is the curator at The RBC Art and Heritage Centre in Montreal. In essence, she is the curator and manager of the public art collection at the McGill University Health Centres in Montreal.
She tells me about the unique task of tailoring artworks to different spaces within a hospital setting, balancing both staff and patient needs. The collection contains a vast diversity of artworks, ranging from the 11 permanent works commissioned at the construction of the new Glen site hospital, as well as hundreds of paintings, prints and mixed media artworks.

My guest today is Melissa Proietti, one of the organizers of Montreal’s Under Pressure Annual Graffiti festival, which just wrapped up its 26th year. Melissa began her involvement with Under Pressure as a volunteer and fell in love with the community spirit and collective energy that this festival embodies. We sat down to reflect on the legacy of this festival, and the value of youth involvement in urban art.
