Centre d'art daphne
daphne’s mission is to provide a place for Indigenous visual artists, from the local to the international, at all levels of their careers, to further their practices while also encouraging a culture of peace through critical, respectful exchange with our Indigenous and non-Indigenous peers and audiences.
Les signaux additionnels (documents, emplois, communiqués, contacts…) sont des bonus : leur absence est normale selon le type d'organisation et ne réduit pas la visibilité.

Inspired by The Old Rez Dog, a poem written by his aunt about life on the reserve, Marcus Merasty opens a space where transformation, memory, and transmission meet. At once familiar and symbolic, the rez dog becomes a metaphor for resilience, displacement, and belonging. In the Golden Rez Dog, Marcus composes a somatic, non-narrative choreographic performance where personal memories and intergenerational legacies converge. In an ever-evolving work, language, voice, movement, sounds, and objects act as performative materials, activating processes of decolonial transformation deeply rooted in the land.Marcus Merasty is a Nēhithaw/Cree performer, choreographer, and multidisciplinary artist with ancestral roots in Wapâwikoscikanihk/Pelican Narrows, Saskatchewan. Their work integrates traditional and contemporary Indigenous dance forms, ideologies, and practices with choreography, visual imagery, storytelling, poetry, film, and object-based performance. Rooted in decolonial approaches, territory-based research, and the exploration of somatic movement and relationships with objects, their practice investigates histories, lived experiences, and narratives that shape both personal and collective memory.This presentation is part of the Pamskodategw program. Supported by the Conseil des arts de Montréal, this 12-month initiative provides support to an Indigenous artist through studio residencies, a creation grant, structural mentorship, and dramaturgical guidance. It also includes an active participatio

Our Origin Story
EN | FR Our Origin Story Indigenous artists have been dreaming of their own artist-run centre in Montreal for a long time. At first, we needed such a space because Indigenous arts were not being shown at artist-run centres. Happily this has begun to change. However, while we have been welcomed, as exhibiting artists and board members, to the nearly 60 artist-run exhibition centres in the province of Quebec (at least 12 in Montreal), there remains a need for a space that is determined by Indigenous artists and their values; a place that creates a safe and generative context to present our work as well as discuss our issues, strengthen our relations, and share our cultures daphne was founded on April 1, 2019 by Hannah Claus, Nadia Myre, Caroline Monnet and Skawennati, four Anishnaabe and Kanienkhá:ka artists based in this city and connected to its urban Indigenous communities as well as to their own families and territories, and national and international art communities.Our name was inspired by the revered Anishinaabe artist, Daphne Odjig (1919- 2016), who also created an Indigenous artist-run space, in Winnipeg in 1971. Like her, we are making a place for ourselves and our peers to exhibit our work, to gather to take part and contribute to the important conversations that are taking place across Turtle Island. daphne’s Mandate: The mandate of daphne as an Indigenous artist-run centre in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/ Montreal is to promote contemporary Indigenous art and artists through exhibitions and related programming. We favour critical, respectful exchange with our various communities, peers and audiences to advance a culture of peace.

This weekly event was hosted by daphne co-founders Skawennati & Hannah Claus. When we first envisioned these evenings, we imagined us all together, sitting around a big table, with plenty of beads on hand to share. Because of the pandemic, these evenings were virtual. But we were still able to share ideas and expertise! The point was always to meet and talk art in a relaxed atmosphere while perhaps making something beautiful in the process. We did this and it was beautiful. <img border="0" height="1800" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7567171f0c229e32b1b8be87756c2ddb65a9b29ed12537ac1d1098c5fef3cc05/daphne-beads_online2021-05-20..jpg" width="2880" />
