Macaulay + Co. is thrilled to present a solo exhibition of work by Mooniyang/Montreal-based Anishinaabe/French artist Caroline Monnet. Materials of Memory brings together photo and textile-based works that ‘engages a buoyant feeling for the future’. Reframing materials and images that have been controlled or exploited, Monnet reclaims them as sites of presence, resistance, and future-making. Anishinaabe geometric patterns override contractor grade building supplies with sacred symbolism, offering a glimpse back and a path forward, grounded in Indigenous women’s knowledge and lived experience.
