Featuring artworks by internationally recognized artists Rebecca Belmore, Lori Blondeau, Dayna Danger, James Luna, Shelley Niro, Adrian Stimson, and Jeff Thomas, the exhibition contends with the challenges of performing indigeneity under the legacy of colonial representation.

Sovereign Acts is organized and circulated by the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, with the support of the Leonard and Bina Ellen Art Gallery.

Exhibition continues to Saturday March 10, 2018
