Daniel Baylis asks the question: is freedom the absence of constraints?/ Daniel Baylis pose la question: la liberté se définit-elle par l’absence de constraints?

"No porn for me, I’m a writer. That means I’m going to sublimate my sexual energy into mental anguish."

La liberté, c’est un tas de choses. Et quand on a 90 minutes pour essayer de le faire “vivre” à 300 personnes, c’est beaucoup de sueur, un peu de glam and glitter, et une vingtaine de personnes qui se tuent à y mettre un peu d’authenticité. Gratuit. Tôt. Café ou pas. “Come as you are”, chantait l’autre. Merci, Sabrina Dumais. Reviens un autre coup, tu vas voir.

Freedom can be a lot of different things. Perhaps we could write nothing for lack of a definition. Or give examples. Freedom in style, freedom in language, freedom of speech, freedom of press. Go, travel. Or don’t. An event like Creative Mornings/ Montreal does not pretend to be anything but an opportunity to rally creatives in the morning. To be “inspired”, in 20-minute increments. It’s really hard. And at some point, not totally under our control. Some of us make things, others write, others consult and speak and dance and sing. From Childhood, to Sex, to Rebel, to Freedom-as-a-topic, we’ve covered a lot of stuff this year already. People come, people go. We hope to see you again, Sabrina.

If you liked Daniel Baylis’ talk last Friday, here’s more of him. As a writer, a blogger and a documentist, his prose is simply fascinating to read.

For the second month in a row, the talented photographers of Portraits of Montréal pointed their lens at the member of our community and collected their thoughts on #FREEDOM. The result is, as always, impressive!
