From Kent Monkman’s The Human Zoo.

Plateau art gallery PFOAC hosts an afternoon vernissage for the opening of a new solo exhibition by prominent Toronto-based artist Kent Monkman, known for works that take an critical look at Canada’s colonialist past using camp and historical art tropes. The exhibition The Human Zoo consists of four ‘video paintings’ that combine painted backgrounds with live action, as well as the Montreal premiere of Monkman’s print series Fate is a Cruel Mistress. 963 Rachel E., 3–6 p.m., free
