SHAME AND
PREJUDICE
June 17 - September 10 Toronto artist
Kent Monkman is inviting Canadians to
learn more about their own history with his
exhibition Shame and Prejudice: A Story of
Resilience at Glenbow museum and gallery.
The exhibition takes viewers on a 300-year
journey of Canada’s history through the lens
of Indigenous experience and resilience.
Part of the exhibition includes a collection
of Monkman’s paintings that portray
historical and contemporary issues impacting
Indigenous people, including residential
schools and the reserve system — subjects
not typically found in art history (page 27).
