ATSA

ATSA, quand l’art passe à l’action (FKA Action Terroriste Socialement Acceptable) is a non-profit organization founded in Montréal in 1997 by artists Annie Roy and the late Pierre Allard. ATSA creates event-based, transdisciplinary, relational works, including installations, performances, and realistic stagings, which bear witness to and challenge the various social and environmental aberrations of our times. Their works investigate and transform the urban landscape to confront citizen’s individual and collective responsibilities by fostering spaces for open discussions on a range of topical socio-political debates. ATSA is committed to feminist, pacifist, and eco-responsible approaches to their community centered work. Over the years, the organization has received numerous awards and recognitions for their work, including the Meritorious Service Medal, Civil Division, by the Governor General of Canada in February 2021.
