Join artist Kent Monkman and curator John Lukavic for a conversation about Monkman’s new exhibition, History is Painted By the Victors.
For the first time ever, Monkman’s work is presented in the United States on a grand scale. His work brings history firmly into the present, using sly humor and flair to look critically at the stories that shape our society. Listen as they discuss Monkman’s artistic practice, his use of visual citations that draw from global art histories, the importance of learning more complete histories that are inclusive of intentionally marginalized voices, and how this exhibition came together. Don’t miss this chance to hear directly from one of Canada’s most acclaimed artists.
