Step into the bold and thought-provoking world of acclaimed Canadian artist Kent Monkman (ocêkwi sîpiy / Fisher River Cree Nation). Through his powerful and subversive lens, Monkman reimagines traditional history painting — challenging colonial narratives and inviting us to see the past, and our present, from new perspectives.

A guided tour will lead you through a series of monumental works that explore the full spectrum of the human experience — from resistance, loss, and resilience to love, humour, and pride.
