Uprisings is a cross-disciplinary exhibition on the theme of collective emotions and also political events where they involve crowds of people in revolt. It will be about social disorder, political agitation, uprisings, rebellions, revolts, revolutions, racket and riots – disturbances of all kinds. In order to anchor the project in the Canadian historical and political context, the Montréal version of the exhibition will be enhanced with archives, press photos and contemporary works by Quebec and Canadian artists.
Uprisings interrogates the notion of the representation of the peoples in both the aesthetic and the political senses of the word “representation”. The exhibition is based on theoretical and historiographical work carried out by Georges Didi-Huberman over a number of years, notably in a series of books entitled L’œil de l’histoire [The Eye of History], the later volumes of which deal with the question of “peoples on display”, and with emotion – given that emotion needs to be included in a work of political anthropology. The notion of uprising will be dealt with through various media: writers’ manuscripts, paintings, drawings, engravings, photographs, and films.
Canadian content
The version of the exhibition Uprisings presented in Montreal will be enhanced by Quebec and Canadian content to anchor the project in the historical and political North American context that is ours. In addition to the touring works, about fifteen documentary photographs, more than fifteen contemporary works and various archival documents speaking directly to or evoking various uprisings that have shaken our society (Sir George Williams University case, 2012 student strike, Idle No More, abortion rights, Africville, Corridart, etc.) From the desire for emancipation of French-speaking people from Québec to indigenous struggles to feminist and anti-racist claims, the added content, without pretending to be exhaustive, intends to suggest the plurality of struggles that animate us.
