 \n\nThe McClure Gallery is pleased to present the In/Visible: Body as Refl
 ective Site (In/Visible) exhibition\, which offers a dialogic and reflecti
 ve artistic space to critically engage with the conditions and actions tha
 t promote or combat sexual violence. The exhibition makes the issue of sex
 ual violence more visible within the community through the work of the six
  selected artists – Hannah Claus\, Dayna Danger\, Maria Ezcurra\, Sandeep 
 Johal\, Kama La Mackerel and Nadia Myre – as in their work the body is sho
 wn to be a site for expression\, empowerment\, and resistance. The present
 ation of these artists’ work activates under-voiced realities associated w
 ith sexual violence across a broad spectrum of experience. The primary que
 stion guiding this exhibition is: How can the body be artistically employe
 d to understand\, expose\, challenge\, and disrupt sexual violence? The wo
 rks will pose further questions\, offer counter-narratives to dominant dis
 courses related to sexual violence\, and present potential methods for dis
 mantling and preventing the insidious culture of sexual violence present i
 n our society. The curators and IMPACTS Director\, James 51³Ô¹ÏÍøProfessor 
 Shaheen Shariff\, aim to share the work and subject matter across diverse 
 communities within Montreal. To achieve this\, there is a robust education
 al program associated with the exhibition and a catalogue that will be lau
 nched on the night of the opening.\n\nThis exhibition is an outgrowth of M
 cGill University’s IMPACTS: Collaborations to Address Sexual Violence on C
 ampus\, a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Partne
 rship Grant (IMPACTS). Designed to research sexual violence through variou
 s lenses\, IMPACTS is addressing\, dismantling\, and preventing sexual vio
 lence through developing evidence-based research and solutions in the fiel
 ds of education\, law\, policy\, arts\, popular culture\, news\, and socia
 l media. To achieve this\, in addition to the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø community\
 , IMPACTS is collaborating with thirteen universities and thirteen communi
 ty partners. As one of the chosen community partners\, the Visual Arts Cen
 tre’s primary contribution to this effort is the In/Visible exhibition.\n
