"Monkman's cinematic canvases and installations center Indigenous resilience, queerness, and historical revisionism against colonial mythologies."

About

Featuring new monumental paintings alongside earlier series, this exhibition showcases Kent Monkman's alter-ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle in scenes that rewrite colonial history from Indigenous perspectives. Large-scale dioramas, video works, and collaborative beadwork projects position resilience as an active, ongoing practice, while curatorial texts foreground Two-Spirit visibility and community-based knowledge transmission.
