Description
Influential contemporary artist in Canada, Kent Monkman’s epic diptych commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Great Hall is a historic moment for Monkman’s and Indigenous, Canadian Art. A Cree, Monkman confronts themes of colonization, sexuality, loss, resilience and challenges the flawed representations of Indigenous peoples that exist in many museums and galleries. Contributions include interviews and essays by Dr. Sasha Suda, Director and CEO of the National Gallery of Canada; professors and art historians Dr. Ruth B. Phillips and Dr. Mark Salber Phillips; Dr. Jami Powell, Associate Curator of Native American Art at the Hood Museum; Shirley Madill, Executive Director at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery; and author and professor Dr. Nick Estes.
