Defiant Imagination

I’m a multimedia freelance journalist living in Montreal. My work is usually geared toward a documentary practice and concentrates on urban issues, social entrepreneurship, social issues and Gen-Y lifestyle trends. To know more about my work, visit my website www.flaviehalais.com.

In 2008 I started this blog as an attempt to catalogue the different pieces of the huge puzzle that is our ever-changing contemporary society. In the past few years this society has started a much-needed process of self-analysis and transformation, brought along by certain events or signs that remind us that evolution is at work and that we are the actors of this evolution.

Food, the economy, the environment are only some of the areas that are being re-considered and re-thought. In my opinion, they are all part of a same movement which seeks to redefine the meaning of living together.

Defiant Imagination features groundbreaking initiatives, innovative ideas, and daring thinkers.
