Join MOA and Indspire, a national Indigenous charity, for a special virtual artist talk with acclaimed Cree artist Kent Monkman.

Monkman will discuss his exhibition, Shame and Prejudice: A Story of Resilience, with Jennifer Kramer, MOA Curator (Pacific Northwest), and Roberta Jamieson, President and CEO of Indspire.

Kent Monkman’s Shame and Prejudice takes you on a journey through the past 150 years of Canada. It is a journey that reclaims and reinserts Indigenous voices into the collective memory of our country, challenging and shattering colonial ideas of our history. The exhibition is on view now at MOA—until January 3, 2021.

Kent Monkman is a Canadian artist and Indspire Award Laureate of Cree ancestry who works with a variety of media, including painting, film/video, performance, and installation. His work is known for its provocative reinterpretations of Romantic North American landscapes, and it explores themes of colonization, sexuality, loss and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Indigenous experience.

Free, online via Zoom. Registration required.
