New on PUBLIC Forum—A review of Nadia Bunyan's exhibition "Auntie's Work: Powers of Care," at McCord Stewart Museum in Montréal by India-Lynn Upshaw-Ruffner. Drawing on the work of Yaniya Lee Lacharité, the review takes the form of a ledger, experimenting with gaps and silences. tinyurl.com/2nrc3exb

Installation view of "Auntie's Work: Powers of Care" by Nadia Bunyian. A black kiosk with a bright blue background and white text is in the foreground. In the background is a photo-collage mural on a dimly it wall, outlined in various white doilies. In the centere is a wooden vanity with mirror.

Detail view of "Auntie's Work: Powers of Care" by Nadia Bunyian. A bottle of Chanel no. 5 perfume is pictured on a large screen. To its right is a column of text describing it in a museological fashion.
