Répondez s’il vous plaît: RSVP

Répondez sil vous plaît (RSVP) is a group exhibition featuring a mix of regional and international artists, presented at Campbell House Museum in Toronto, Ontario.

By reflecting on the entangled histories of capitalism, colonialism, sexual identity, and diasporic embodiment, Répondez sil vous plaît aims to complicate temporal narratives and inquire: Which histories are granted legitimacy and visibility? What monuments are preserved, archived, and remembered?
