To support History is Painted by the Victors (working title), an exhibition of Kent Monkman’s large-scale history paintings of peoples and territories that have directly shaped the Turtle Island (North America) of today, reinforcing his credo that “History Painting” is a relevant contemporary genre. This survey is Monkman’s first major exhibition in the United States (the exhibition is co-organized with Denver Art Museum) and his most significant and scholarly presentation in Canada. The exhibition will be accompanied by a cross-border collaborative catalogue featuring Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices from the United States and Canada.
