Voix du Nord was born from a simple idea: to create a space where creators from the region can share their work.
In a vast region like Baie-James, artists are often far from one another. Yet ideas, stories, and images continue to move across the territory.
This zine aims to become a meeting place for these different voices.
Each issue brings together creations from communities across the North, forming a snapshot of the region’s artistic landscape at a given moment.
The project is open to emerging artists, first-time creators, and anyone who simply wants to share their work.
More than just a publication, Voix du Nord seeks to keep artistic creation moving through the communities of the territory.
Voix du Nord aims to :
✔️ Offer a first opportunity for young creators in the Baie-James region to publish their work.
✔️ Encourage local artistic expression.
✔️ Highlight the diversity of voices and imaginations across the territory.
✔️ Create a meeting space between different artistic disciplines.
✔️ Share creative work across northern communities.
In a vast region like Baie-James, opportunities to share artistic work are relatively limited.
Voix du Nord aims to offer a simple and open space where artists can share their work and discover that of others.
Participating artists come from different communities across Baie-James. The Voices Map highlights the cities and communities represented in the zine.
Over time, Voix du Nord will also become an artistic archive of the region.
The published works, participating artists, and represented places reflect the creative vitality of the territory.
Voice of the North is an art zine published four times a year.
Each issue brings together creations from across the region.
The works are shared locally and available online.
The zine is produced independently on a small scale.
Each issue is printed locally and distributed free of charge in various locations across the region, including:
📍 High schools
📍 Youth centres
📍 Carrefours jeunesse-emplois
📍 Libraries
A digital version is also available to make the work accessible to as many people as possible.
Voix du Nord is an artistic project developed in collaboration with partners across the region.
🤝 Schools
🤝 Youth centres
🤝 Libraries
🤝 Carrefours Jeunesse-Emplois
These partners help share the call for submissions and support the distribution of the zine within James Bay communities.
Through these collaborations, Voix du Nord creates an accessible space where young creators can share their work and make northern voices heard.
Voix du Nord grows with the artists who take part in it.
Each issue is a new opportunity to create, share, and bring work across the region.
