45 Library is a collection of speculations by artists, designers, and architects on the subject of the presidential library for the 45th president.

Johnny Forever Nawracaj is a nonbinary Polish­born writer, performer and multidisciplinary artist currently based in Montreal. Their work weaves surrealist narrative through soft sculpture, video, gesture and drag-inflected performance to explore love, loss, and longing with a particular investment in these themes as a part of radical queer and trans cultural production. Video forms and informs a large part of Forever's artistic practice. Some​ works are created to accompany performances - the artist's own or those of collaborators - while others loop soundlessly within installations. Many of Forever's recent video works are comprised of simple animations made with abstractly layered symbolic objects. These works are sometimes created under the pseudonym WYDIOŁYCZ.

Queer Portraits 2006-2015 by JJ Levine is a large photography monograph depicting one hundred portraits of Levine’s friends and family in Montreal over the past nine years. Each studio-lit portrait is shot on medium or large format film, and taken in a different domestic setting, characterized by saturated colours and discursive backgrounds. This monograph includes four critical texts, by Erin Silver, Greg Ellermann, Johnny Forever Nawracaj, and Jackson Davidow.
