BEGINNINGS

Resistance and Resilience is a unique art exhibit. By privileging the experiences of Legacy and first and second generation racialised migrant/immigrant communities, it explores the themes of complex identities and peace, resistance to the erasing of diverse voices in social and historical narratives, and resilience to inequity and injustice. Resistance and Resilience is about celebrating the diversity of histories, narratives, and expressions through art, speakers, workshops, and panels, as well as showing support and solidarity with our students, staff, and the broader Montreal community.

CURATORIAL STATEMENT

We are, with the exception of the descendants of the hundreds of nations who have lived on Turtle Island since time immemorial, immigrants of some kind. Whether one’s ancestors came on a boat to Port Royal, Acadia in the 1600s, or by land, sea, or air in the centuries to follow, most of us arrived. Migrated. Immigrated. Sought refuge or asylum. But there the similarities end, since those experiences were, and remain undoubtedly political—differentiated by categories of class, gender, sexuality, and race.
