The Paintings of Indigenous Artist Kent Monkman in the Teaching of Canadian History

With Andrea Roca

Type: Workshop & Creative Engagement

The Paintings of Indigenous Artist Kent Monkman in the Teaching of Canadian History proposes a reflection on Monkman’s paintings as gestures of sharing and return that move through colonial narratives, reopening Canadian history as a living territory, where memories breathe together. In an educational context, his work calls for reciprocity: to hold is to assume responsibility for the stories that constitute us, to give is to argue, and to receive is to welcome what has been concealed.
