Mandoline Hybride is a leader in ethical issues in the arts. With clear commitments and policies endorsed by its board of directors, the company hopes to help reduce inequalities and move the artistic milieu towards healthier practices.

Gender equality, decolonization and the diversification of artistic programming are priorities for MH. In its various projects as a presenter and residency venue (RIRH, Salon58, FURIES), the presence of aboriginal artists, racialized people and members of queer and/or minority communities is considered a norm, not an exception. These people present their work and address the public in performances, meetings, panels and discussions. MH also puts its values into action through shared curating, decolonial project promotion, self-education and knowledge-sharing with the cultural community. The organization is committed to supporting struggles against colonial domination, sexism, racism and discrimination through concrete actions: targeted volunteer actions; dissemination of discourses related to these struggles; setting up structuring projects to stimulate encounters between aboriginal and non-aboriginal artists; attention to the enhancement of aboriginal languages and traditions; recognition of the territory. Intersectional feminist perspectives also guide the company’s choices in all its initiatives. MH 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 (RIRH, Salon58, FURIES) are driven by a firm desire to highlight the work of women and non-binary people.
