À travers la peinture, le textile, les ornements, la sculpture, la performance, la photographie et la vidéo, ces artistes révèlent la couleur comme quelque chose qui est extrait, tissé, porté, transporté et disputé, plutôt que choisi ou appliqué. Ici, la couleur émerge de la terre, du travail et de la violence : du jade et du pounamu, de l’argile et des pigments, du fil, des perles, des tresses et du sang. Elle porte en elle des histoires d’extraction et de commerce, de désir colonial, de cosmologie spirituelle et de résistance politique. Face à l’abstraction et à la neutralité de la théorie occidentale de la couleur, ces artistes affirment que la couleur est située, contestée et incarnée. Dans le cadre de l’examen plus large des frontières proposé par la biennale, cette exposition met de l’avant la manière dont la couleur elle-même a traversé les frontières, tant de manière violente que cérémonielle. Pigments, pierres et teintures voyagent à travers les routes coloniales, les échanges spirituels et les continuités de la diaspora. Ce que cette exposition rend visible, c’est que la couleur n’est jamais innocente. Elle se souvient d’où elle vient. L’exposition s’articule autour de quatre domaines thématiques interdépendants qui expliquent comment la couleur fonctionne en tant qu’extraction, cosmologie, résistance et mémoire transnationale. https://www.baca.ca/expositions/traverser-le-territoire/art-mur/ --- May 2 – June 20, 2026 Opening reception: Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. To Move Across the Land: Colour Is Not Neutral Curators: Armando Perla & Michael Patten La Biennale d’art contemporain autochtone (BACA), 8th edition Art Mûr 5826 rue St-Hubert, Montreal, QC, H2S 2L7 Opening Performance: Diego Ventura Puac-Coyoy (Guatemala) Isaac Te Awa (Aotearoa / New Zealand), Marilyn Boror Bor (Guatemala), Cholita Chic (Chile), Lissy and Rudi Robinson-Cole (Aotearoa / New Zealand), Diego Ventura Puac Coyoy (Guatemala), Angela DeMontigny (Canada), Stevei Houkamau (Aotearoa / New Zealand), Jose Luis Fernando Morales (Guatemala), Adetona Omokanye (Nigeria, Canada), Ernesto Ovalle (Aotearoa / New Zealand), Antonio Pichilla (Guatemala), Juan Carlos Recinos (Kuskatan / El Salvador), Hugo Rivas (Kuskatan / El Salvador), Anders Sunna (Sweden), Anna-Stina Svakko (Sweden), Telly Tuita (Aotearoa / New Zealand), Volcancitto (Guatemala), Renati Waaka (Aotearoa / New Zealand), Silvia Canil Xirúm (Guatemala), ARIA XYX (Kuskatan / El Salvador) This exhibition brings together Indigenous and diasporic artists who treat colour as material knowledge rather than surface effect. Working across painting, textile, adornment, sculpture, performance, photography, and video, these artists expose colour as something mined, woven, worn, carried, and fought over, rather than chosen or applied. Here, colour emerges from land, labor, and violence: from jade and pounamu, from clay and pigment, from thread, bead, braid, and blood. It carries histories of extraction and trade, colonial desire, spiritual cosmology, and political resistance. Against Western colour theory’s abstraction and neutrality, these artists insist that colour is situated, contested, and embodied. Within the biennial’s broader examination of borders, this exhibition foregrounds how colour itself has crossed borders violently and ceremonially alike. Pigments, stones, and dyes travel through colonial routes, spiritual exchanges, and diasporic continuities. What this exhibition makes visible is that colour is never innocent. It remembers where it comes from. The exhibition is structured around four interrelated thematic areas that articulate how colour functions as extraction, cosmology, resistance, and transnational memory. https://www.baca.ca/en/exhibitions/to-move-across-the-land/art-mur/ - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/montreal/baca-x-art-mûr/200029924533035 - **Event Categories**: art, exhibitions, fine-arts, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 64 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Montreal - **state**: QC - **country**: Canada - **location**: 5826 St-Hubert, Montreal, QC, Canada, Quebec H2S2L7 - **lat**: 45.53315 - **long**: -73.59711 - **full address**: 5826 St-Hubert, Montreal, QC, Canada, Quebec H2S2L7 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: BACA x Art Mûr - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/c2918d8fac5deca74b14cd553ddb80b107d0f7d3e448b1d570a94d4062921484-rimg-w1200-h800-dc2d311a-gmir?v=1775853934 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is BACA x Art Mûr being held? - **A:** BACA x Art Mûr takes place on Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 05:00 pm at 5826 St-Hubert, Montreal, QC, Canada, Quebec H2S2L7. - **Q**: Who is organizing BACA x Art Mûr? - **A:** BACA x Art Mûr is organized by BACA. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
