Agnes is revisiting the former site of a John A. Macdonald statue. Nine years after Erin Sutherland’s prophetic project that anticipated a new discourse around colonial monuments, she returns with a second iteration of performances, reorienting the site toward future possibilities. In collaboration with Agnes’s Associate Curator, Care and Relations, Sebastian De Line, Erin brings back artists Leah Decter, David Garneau and Peter Morin from TBTJM #1  together with newly invited artist,  Jimmie Kilpatrick for spoken word performances, collaborative karaoke and more.
