Über den Künstler

Kent Monkman

Kent Monkman is a Cree artist whose bold paintings retell the history of North America from an Indigenous perspective. Born in 1965, he is best known for reworking the style of 19th-century history painting to reveal the impact of colonization and the stories often left out of museums.

Many of his works feature his alter ego, Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, a gender-fluid character who uses humor and glamour to challenge stereotypes and shift power roles between settlers and Indigenous peoples. Through this figure, Monkman explores themes of identity, resilience, and truth-telling.

His art has been shown in major museums around the world, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Monkman continues to use his work to spark conversation, encouraging audiences to see history with fresh eyes and imagine a more just future.
