Mistikosiwak (Wooden Boat People)

Graphic identity and exhibition graphics for the installation Kent Monkman: mistikosiwak (Wooden Boat People). Kent Monkman has been selected to create two monumental paintings for The Met's Great Hall. Monkman, born in Canada in 1965, is a Cree artist widely known for his provocative interventions into Western European and American art history. He explores themes of colonization, sexuality, loss, and resilience—the complexities of historic and contemporary Indigenous experiences—across a variety of mediums, including painting, film, performance, and installation. Curated by Randall Griffey.
