Royal Ontario Museum Presents ISAAC JULIEN: OTHER DESTINIES, 1/21-4/23

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is delighted to present works by renowned contemporary installation artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien. Isaac Julien: Other Destinies, presented by TD Bank Group, will be on view from Saturday, January 21until April 23, 2017. The exhibition consists of two immersive film projections, WESTERN UNION: Small Boats (2007) and True North (2004), both addressing issues of globalization, movements of peoples, displacement, and the aesthetics of geography. The ROM's installation of Isaac's work is one of a three-part execution across Toronto, with programs at OCAD University and the Images Festival.

"Isaac Julien is a one of the most exciting and innovative intellectual thinkers working in the arts today. Through his work, he addresses difficult and sensitive issues in a poetic and visually engaging manner," said Silvia Forni, ROM Curator of African Arts and Culture. "We are thrilled to share his work with ROM visitors, and together with OCAD University and the Images Festival, give Toronto audiences an opportunity to fully explore his practice."
