RODAISUN x BLUE METROPOLIS LITERARY FESTIVAL present...

I REMEMBER: A writing workshop inspired by the work of Joe Brainard

7pm - April 16, 2026 - Parquette - 1345 Rue de Bellechasse, Montréal

Writing prompts by RODAISUN, music by Aaron Dolman, Kevin LaFleur, and Zach Bachand. Second hand books for sale by Pomes Books.

Joe Brainard (1942-1944) was a New York School artist and writer whose unconventional memoir I Remember transformed what autobiographical writing can be. Made up of 1,000+ brief memories, the book shows how the deeply personal can also be profoundly universal — something RDS has been exploring for the past five years.

What to expect:

→ Live music + drinks at Parquette

→ Books by Pomes 2nd Hand Books

→ Writing prompts inspired by Brainard

→ Optional group reading / performance
