Shared Horizons—Visual Arts and Cultures
Shared Horizons—Visual Arts and Cultures is a visual arts project that will invite you to explore how ideas, traditions, and aesthetics travel across borders. In the first part of the project, we’ll journey through artistic influences spanning Japan and the Middle East, Mexico and West Africa, and beyond. In the second part of the project, we will highlight creativity closer to home through art by First Nation artists residing in the province of Quebec.
This project is made possible thanks to the support of the Government of Canada.
