Online–Curator Tour of Shame and Prejudice
Thursday October 22, 2020 | 7 – 8:30 PM
Join MOA Curator Jennifer Kramer for an online tour through Kent Monkman’s Shame and Prejudice: A Story of Resilience.
Whether you’ve seen Shame and Prejudice multiple times already, or can’t visit in-person, this is your chance to experience the acclaimed exhibition, from the comfort of your couch. MOA Curator Jennifer Kramer will guide you through artist Kent Monkman’s moving and thought-provoking exhibition, which he developed as a response to the Canada 150 celebrations. The exhibition (re)tells Canadian history through the eyes of his provocative alter-ego, Miss Chief Eagle Testickle—a bold, time traveling, shapeshifter who takes us on her voyage through time. Follow Miss Chief’s journey as she guides us from sickness into healing, from starvation into bounty, and from genocide to justice.
Virtual visitors will be toured through the nine chapters of the exhibition, excerpted from Miss Chief’s fictional memoirs, beginning in 18th century “New France: The Reign of the Beaver” to the “Urban Rez” of Winnipeg’s North End. The exhibition is a “restorying” that changes the familiar nationalist myth of British-French settlers discovering a “new world” ripe for possession and resource extraction to a counter-narrative focused upon Indigenous strength, healing, and resurgence.
This event is a pre-recorded tour with MOA Curator, Jennifer Kramer, premiering live on Zoom. A live Q + A period with Jennifer Kramer will follow the tour.
