Description

Eight artists from across Canada create works identify varying forms of nationhood that either serve or detract from the concept of a national accord. Each artist explores the idea of ₃anthem₄ through a wide-angle lens, broadening the national discourse to include not only colonial histories, but also distinctive and multicultural liberties that take various forms: treaties, blood, languages, sexual orientation, faith, and oral traditions. The dynamic range of art works exhibited contribute to a more inclusive national narrative and expose and accept the diverse forms of nationalism that exist across the country.
