PHI Foundation, Montreal, Canada

Laure Prouvost | Oma-je

01.11.2024–09.03.2025

The PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art is presenting Oma-je, the largest North American exhibition to date by Laure Prouvost. This touring show has evolved from its 2023 iteration at Remai Modern in Saskatoon and will unfold as a journey across seven of the PHI Foundation’s galleries in Montréal. This immersive presentation celebrates Prouvost’s relationship to family, friends, and their loved ones, as well as inspirational thinkers, activists, chosen kin, and artistic predecessors. Oma-je honours both intellectual inheritance and embodied ways of knowing, shifting attention from grandfather to grandmother and forefather to foremother. Love, touch, and teaching are irreversibly entangled and celebrated.
