The notion of equity is at the heart of Mandoline Hybride‘s orientations and guides many of the management’s decisions. Gender equality, the decolonization of practices and discourses, and the diversification of artistic programming are priorities for Mandoline Hybride. Within its various projects (Regards Hybrides, Salon58, FURIES, L’Hybride – café & bookshop), the presence of indigenous artists, racialized people, members of the queer, trans and/or minority communities is envisaged as a norm, not an exception. These people present their work and address the audiences in performances, meetings, panels and discussions. 

Mandoline Hybride also puts its values into action through shared curating, decolonial project promotion, self-education and knowledge-sharing with the cultural milieu. The organization is committed to supporting struggles against colonial domination, sexism, racism and discrimination, with concrete actions including targeted volunteer work, the dissemination of discourses linked to these struggles, the setting up of structuring projects to stimulate encounters between aboriginal and non-aboriginal artists, attention to the enhancement of aboriginal languages and traditions, and various forms of recognition of the territory.

Intersectional feminist perspectives also guide the company’s choices in all its initiatives. Mandoline Hybride adopts epicene language in its internal and external communications, favoring neutrality and, when necessary, using doublets and abbreviated doublets. Mandoline Hybride‘s various artistic programs (Regards Hybride, Salon58, FURIES, L’Hybride – café & bookshop) are driven by a firm commitment to highlighting the work of women, trans and non-binary people.
