CultureHaus After Hours: Curator Tour of Kent Monkman: History is Painted by the Victors
Join us for an exclusive after-hours tour of Kent Monkman: History is Painted by the Victors. This exhibition showcases the first major U.S. presentation of celebrated artist Kent Monkman (Fisher River Cree Nation).
Explore Monkman's monumental works that merge history painting with contemporary themes - confronting colonial narratives while amplifying the lived experiences of Indigenous communities and addressing crucial topics such as climate change, generational trauma, and LGBTQ+ pride.
Led by DAM curators, this is an amazing opportunity to engage deeply with Monkman’s powerful and thought-provoking art.
Plus, get the chance to meet our two incoming Native Arts Artists-in-Residence!
