The Scream 2016

Kent Monkman's 2016 painting "The Scream" is a powerful, large-scale work that depicts the tragic history of Indigenous people in Canada. The painting depicts a scene of chaos and violence, with Indigenous people being forcibly removed from their homes and families by members of the RCMP and clergy. The painting is a stark reminder of the injustices that Indigenous people have faced and continue to face. This work is both a historical document and a call to action, encouraging viewers to confront the dark side of Canada's past and to work towards a more just and equitable future.
