Origamilitantisme is a collaboration of several artists and activists fighting against the present bylaw P-6 in Montreal. During recent protests, our actions and artistic performances in public spaces have allowed us to represent our fundamental human rights to freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of thought and peaceful assembly.
