Entering a dreamscape where reflection and exhilaration entwine, Inhaler presents their much-awaited third studio album Open Wide.

On Thursday February 6, students protested in front of Concordia University’s Guy-De Maisonneuve building and McGill University’s James Administration building, while the board of governors had their monthly meeting and allegedly discussed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement.

Concordia’s Student Union is also currently under investigation, after the university accused them of violating several regulations and codes during the special general meeting on Wednesday January 29.

ConUHacks held its ninth edition of its annual hackathon on February 1st and 2nd. The 24-hour coding competition is put together every year by HackConcordia, Concordia University's hackathon society and student-run group and it is open to anyone older than 18.  Teams of participants have 24 hours from 11 am Saturday to 11 am Sunday to submit their project. There are also general challenges offered by ConUHacks and sponsor challenges that make teams create a more targeted project

But ConUHacks is not just a hackathon.

“We have also the career fair,” says Sabine Hleiss co-president of HackConcordia. “We give the participants the chance to network with the sponsors we have. We also have workshops.”

Last Thursday, bilingual singer-songwriter Nico Play played a short and sweet set at La Sotterranea. The intimate setting of the venue paired beautifully with the serene sounds of the artist’s music, where he performed on stage solo with an acoustic guitar. Not only did this make the show more personal and raw, but it emphasized his honeyed vocals and vulnerable lyrics. 

The thirty-seventh annual  Folk Alliance International Conference will be taking place at the Sheraton Hotel in Montreal from February nineteenth through the twenty-third. With over one hundred and seventy-five artists representing twenty-six countries, nineteen U.S. states, and all thirteen of our Canadian provinces. This stands to be one of the biggest showcases of folk music in the conference’s history.
