ANTHEM: Expressions of Canadian Identity showcases works by 15 established printmakers from across Canada, many of whom feature photography prominently in their work. The artists were asked to respond to the words of Canada’s anthem, focusing on the concepts of “home” and “land.”

Curator Derek Besant writes: “This exhibition invites an open and concentrated observation into the complexities of Canada, including individual perspectives, multiple languages, relations to place, and collective identity.” It will allow for a community-wide discussion about the power of language and the inclusive and exclusionary power of the anthem’s words, integrating responses from Indigenous and immigrant communities.
