We are excited to share that Raphaël Barontini will be participating in the 19th edition of MOMENTA Biennale d’art contemporain, held in Montréal, Canada. This year's edition, titled In Praise of the Missing Image, will be opening on September 10, 2025.
Presented across 11 exhibition spaces throughout the city, the Biennale’s programming will foster dialogue among the works of 23 artists representing 14 countries, 4 provinces, and 5 Indigenous communities, including Raphaël Barontini. From one exhibition to the next, artists will explore hybridization, fluidity, and fugitivity to create emancipatory images that uncover marginalized or erased narratives.
Curated by Marie-Ann Yemsi, this edition of Momenta Biennale aims to open up diverse perspectives for experimentation and speculation on the nature, use, and production of missing images. “In Praise of the Missing Image” addresses the contemporary challenges of visual culture and reflects on the consequences of the complex power dynamics involved in constructing narratives: Which stories are told, how, and by whom?
