Kent Monkman: A Story of Canada
28 Jan - 25 Feb 2017
Pierre-François Ouellette art contemporain in Toronto is pleased to present Kent Monkman: A Story of Canada. This exhibition focuses on residential schools and the removal of children from their families and communities on reservations in Canada. From early colonial days to the 1960s and beyond, missionaries and mounties facilitated the aggressive and traumatic separation of indigenous children from their rightful heritage and nationality. Five new paintings and a new photographic series titled Fate is a Cruel Mistress will be featured. This exhibition follows the opening of Shame and Prejudice: A Story of Resilience at the University of Toronto Art Gallery.
