Shame and Prejudice: A Story of Resilience
Art Museum at University of Toronto
January 26 - March 4, 2017

Launched in response to Canada’s bicentennial celebrations, Kent Monkman’s major solo touring exhibition Shame and Prejudice challenged mythologies around Canadian nationhood from an Indigenous perspective. As told by Monkman’s shape-shifting, time-travelling, gender-fluid alter ego Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, this critical examination of Canada’s history revealed the devastating impact of European settler cultures on Turtle Island as well as the enduring resilience of Indigenous peoples. To tell this story, Monkman curated archival objects and original work by other artists along with his own original artworks.
