In Creatura Dada, six francophone Indigenous women are gathered around a dining table, Caroline Monnet utilizes Dadaist techniques of collage, montage, and assemblage to present this scene as a celebration of Indigenous women’s identity and cultural heritage. 

Monnet’s solo exhibition will be hosted by Nunu Fine Art, New York this fall.
