On the occasion of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People, the Biennale d’art contemporain autochtone (BACA) in partnership with Art Public Montréal is pleased to invite you to the inauguration of public artworks on August 9, starting at 4 p.m. at the The Frédéric Back Tree Pavilion at the Montreal Botanical Garden.
The new Public Art component of the 2024 edition of the Biennale d’art contemporain autochtone (BACA) will present four works by Indigenous artists in two locations across the city. Espace pour la vie will host works by Eruoma Awashish, Craig Commanda and Amanda Roy at the First Nation Garden and the Botanical Garden’s Frédéric Back Tree Pavilion. Sierra Barber’s work will be installed on the façade of Quai 5160 – Maison de la culture de Verdun, in the borough of Verdun.
This first temporary public art exhibition of the BACA is supported by the Bureau d’art public de la Ville de Montréal and realized with the financial assistance of the Government of Québec and the Ville de Montréal as part of the Entente de développement culturel de Montréal.
We look forward to seeing you on Friday, August 9, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Botanical Garden, 4101 Sherbrooke Street East, Montreal, for this celebration in the presence of the artists.
We’ll be delighted to welcome Charles Patton, respected elder of the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk) Nation from the Kahnawa:ke community, and the Pow wow rangers for a percussion performance.
