Masquerade: Acts of Defiance

Masquerade: Acts of Defiance – An Immersive Contemporary Art Exhibition

Step into Masquerade: Acts of Defiance, a thought-provoking duo exhibition by Montreal artists Lavi Picu and Lilian Cuer, exploring the invisible realities hidden beneath the surface of everyday life.

The exhibition examines through various mediums how contemporary society masks urgent truths—whether within our bodies, our environment, or our collective future. Bringing together two distinct artistic voices, Masquerade creates a powerful dialogue between internal and external forms of vulnerability, inviting viewers to question what remains unseen.

Join us for the Opening Reception on Friday, August 7, and meet both artists while enjoying a special live musical performance by Trésor Munkonkole.

Whether you're an art collector, contemporary art enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique cultural experience in Montreal, Masquerade: Acts of Defiance offers an unforgettable journey into perception, resilience, and transformation.
