The Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal features the largest exhibition of the Canadian artist Rebecca Belmore which aims to be a major overview of the past 30 years. The show includes sculptures, installations, photography and videos, which explore issues such as the problematic relationships with territory, women’s lives, historic events and ongoing violence against Indigenous peoples.

In Facing the Monumental, the artist presents a collection of visceral images exploring the pressing issues of our time.
