After my recent trip to Australia and New Zealand, I have been reminiscing about previous travels and thinking about places I’d like to revisit in the future. I went to Canada when I was 15 and would love to go back some day and explore the coastal provinces. This lovely scene from Group of Seven painter Arthur Lismer looks so enticing!

Greatpiece by Saelan Twerdy for Canadian Art regarding les centres d’artistes autogérés en Montréal. Truly inspired by Projet Pangée

agreat interview with the brilliant Anique Jordan 

For me, Harris’ paintings from the ward and his northern landscapes are an entry point into questioning: who has the power to construct these official “histories”? And what are the implications of omitting, erasing or making invisible particular versions of history? What if Canadian history and art history could offer a nuanced, complex memory of people, places and moments?
