Art Urbain Montréal

2012
MARTIN AKWIRANORON LOFT

This poster was part of the exhibition Mémoire de l’avenir (2023): an urban poster exhibition representing the works of established and emerging artists. 

This project was born from a desire to create connections between different generations of Quebec artists.

The exhibition, curated by Camille Larivée, was made up of 3 pairs, each comprising an emerging artist and an established artist. These encounters allow us to immerse ourselves in Quebec art, in our everyday lives, and to reflect on the progression of certain themes in today's artistic imagination.             

From July to September 2023, these posters were exhibited in the streets of Montréal · Tiohtià:ke on Publicité Sauvage’s palisades.

Martin Akwiranoron Loft's watercolor and digital collage print Oronhia (Blue) features a portrait of an unknown Kanien'kehá:ka chief surrounded by a Haudenosaunee beadwork frame. The soft, soothing blue sky overhangs the Adirondack Mountains, located in the traditional territory of the Kanien'kehá:ka, and accompanies the chief magnificently. This work reminds us that the protection of unceded native territories on Turtle Island is still guided by the ancestors, and that this struggle will continue for generations to come.
