Topographies: Artist's Talk with Moridja Kitenge Banza

Montreal-based artist Moridja Kitenge Banza joins curator John Geoghegan in conversation about his exhibition Topographies, which can be seen, in part, as a contemporary response to Cobalt: A Mining Town and the Canadian Imagination. While earlier generations of Canadian artists have depicted the mining industry as picturesque and even sublime, Banza asks us to consider the environmental and social impact resource extraction has on communities around the world.

The exhibition Moridja Kitenge Banza: Topographies is on view at the McMichael from November 18, 2023 through to April 21, 2024.
