Sur place, A two-day workshop to avert dystopia and reverse engineer the future. May 27 & 28, 2017. Montreal. - Home

The people have a righteous imagination.

It can solve the greatest problems, with a little help.

That’s where Surplace comes in.

Surplace is a social enterprise that blends together three things.

• A media coop that offers resources to creatives and doers.

• A media outlet that produces content, in our own voice.

• A creative agency that works with clients, so we can pay our bills.

We live for the moments of discovering a person’s story, connecting with them as a collaborator, and making a creative work to share with our audience.
