Description

Winner, Toronto Book AwardsMoving the Museum documents the reopening of the J.S.

McLean Centre for Indigenous & Canadian Art with a renewed focus on the AGO’s Indigenous art collection.

The volume reflects the nation-to-nation treaty relationship that is the foundation of Canada, asking questions, discovering truths, and leading conversations that address the weight of history and colonialism. Lavishly illustrated with more than 100 reproductions, Moving the Museum: Indigenous + Canadian Art at the AGO features the work of First Nations artists — including Carl Beam, Rebecca Belmore, and Kent Monkman — along with work by Inuit artists like Shuvinai Ashoona and Annie Pootoogook.

Canadian artists include Lawren Harris, Kazuo Nakamura, Joyce Wieland, and many others.

Drawing from stories about our origins and identities, the featured artists and essayists invite readers to engage with issues of land, water, transformation, and sovereignty and to contemplate the historic and future representation of Indigenous and Canadian art in museums.
