by Savannah Stewart

A multidisciplinary exhibition about how inherited societal trauma settles in the body.

Montreal-based artist My-Van Dam’s work exploring trauma and societal pressure’s impacts on the body is on display in this solo exhibition curated by Geneviève Wallen for Montréal, arts interculturels (MAI).

Featuring a video installation, sculptures and drawings, Dam charts a pathway to healing for individuals and the collective, with a particular focus on the solidarity of women of colour to tend to shared wounds.

Connecting From the Inside Out runs from Sept. 5 to Oct. 26 at the MAI (3680 Jeanne-Mance). For more on the exhibition, please visit the MAI website.
