Five months after its initial launch, OASIS immersion is back with a summer exhibition at the Palais des congrès de Montreal.

Quebec YouTuber Émile Roy's presence in the exhibition features a "fresh new take on hope and resilience," while the Quebec-based lo-fi studio Vallée Duhamel's exhibit features a "hygge-inspired experience" with music by composer Jean-Phi Goncalves. Hygge is a Danish term for coziness and contentment.
