Geopoetics – The Lay of the Land
Stewart Park
This exhibition explores the idea of immensity in relation to Canadian territory.

The works are displayed in Stewart Park, creating a journey that reveals interesting and unusual perspectives on our country.

Geopoetics – Ranges of Motion
Stewart Hall Art Gallery
The exhibition is built around the notions of mobility and movement, considered as identity markers for the chosen
works. Artists explore various issues related to diversity, interculturalism, territorial exploration, nomadism and more broadly the history of Canada. This artistic quest provides visitors with an intimate vision of territorial poetry.

Geopoetics: From one ocean to the other
Kid’s Corner – Stewart Hall
This exhibition is the product of a partnership between the Stewart Hall Art Gallery and the “Little Stew’Arts”, consisting of groups of students from Marguerite-Bourgeoys elementary school. The project was inspired by artists Matt Shane and Jim Holyoak, who were in residence at the Art Gallery last April. The Little Stew’Arts take over the Kids’ Corner with paper murals illustrating the landscapes, wildlife and flora of Canada’s seven physiographic regions.
