Jessica Houston

Opening Thursday, January 30, 2025, Montréal artist Jessica Houston journeys from pole to pole through oral narratives, photography, collage, and painting to explore climate justice, particularly emphasizing the deep time of ice and collaboration with nature. Through her research-based practice, Houston engages with poets, penguins, scientists, and philosophers to uncover and illuminate the geographies of resistance.
