Caroline Monnet Featured in Les Rencontres de la Photographie, Arles, France

Caroline Monnet is a French-Canadian multi-disciplinary artist based in Outaouais, Quebec, whose work addresses sociological themes of indigenous identity, bi-culturalism, and the negative impact of colonization in North America. Her upcoming exhibition, Echoes from a Near Future, features a series of photographs that reclaim the indigenous female body by casting native women at the center of individual and group portraits. Sporting costumes embellished in bold patterns, Monnet’s subjects challenge colonial beauty standards with confrontational poise.
