Public Tours

Organisée par Emily Laurent Henderson, conservatrice adjointe des arts et de la culture autochtones à McMichael, cette visite explore l’exposition unique en son genre de plus de 200 œuvres qui mettent en évidence les continuités culturelles de la vie à Kinngait face aux changements sociétaux spectaculaires survenus au cours de plus de cinq décennies. Cette exposition révèle des corpus d’œuvres négligés de certains des artistes les plus appréciés du pays, notamment Kenojuak Ashevak, Pitseolak Ashoona, Kananginak Pootoogook et Pudlo Pudlat, et présente au public des artistes jusqu’ici inconnus dont les œuvres ont été supprimées en raison des objectifs du programme d’impression qui donnait la priorité aux goûts des marchés des colons dans le Sud.

Découvrez le charme de Venise à travers les yeux de James Wilson Morrice. Cette exposition présente ses portraits lumineux et intimes des canaux et des piazzas de la ville, capturant sa beauté intemporelle avec un coup de pinceau poétique et une élégance tranquille.
