Opening Reception and Talks this Fall 2023
August 15, 2023
Experience the McMaster Museum of Art’s critical collection exhibition Chasm through the program of public events taking place this Fall 2023.
Chasm
May 18, 2023 – December 8, 2023
Curated by Pamela Edmonds and Betty Julian
Chasm continues a series of recent exhibitions exploring the permanent collection at the McMaster Museum of Art through critical curatorial frameworks. This exhibition takes the unique vantage point of critiquing the power dynamics of colonialism from within the museum, informed by the transcultural positions of resistance that seek Indigenous sovereignty and Black liberation.

The museum gratefully acknowledges the support of the Ontario Arts Council.
All events will be held at McMaster Museum of Art, 1280 Main St W, Hamilton ON
