In the spring of 1985, an artists collective founded Vox Populi, a non-profit organisation devoted to communication and multidisciplinary artistic practices. In 1987, the organisation redefined its mandate to concentrate exclusively on photography. VOX organised the first edition of the Mois de la Photo à Montréal, an international biennial event, in 1989. In 2002, after having organised seven editions of the event, it decided to make the Mois de la Photo à Montréal a separate organisation in order to enable both organisations to focus on expanding their respective fields of activity. In 2004, VOX pursued this goal by moving to Saint-Laurent Boulevard and devoting itself to the image in a broader sense. The issues VOX addresses thus derive from photography and extend into the culture of the contemporary image.
