Cheryl L’Hirondelle: where the voice touches (((acts, utterances, transmissions for freedom))) is the first monograph on the multidisciplinary artist and singer/songwriter’s practice, published by The Magenta Foundation in collaboration with Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity; the Agnes Etherington Art Centre (AGNES), Queen’s University; and the Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery, Concordia University. This publication spans the celebrated artist’s expansive multi-decade practice. Featuring essays by Candice Hopkins, Jennifer Kennedy, Ayumi Goto and Peter Morin, and Tarah Hogue and Jacqueline Bell, the publication opens with a prayer by Joseph Naytowhow and includes an introduction by Emelie Chhangur and Jacqueline Bell. Alongside images of works in diverse media and performance documentation across nearly four decades, the monograph also presents documentation of the artist’s first career survey of the same title at Walter Phillips Gallery co-curated by Tarah Hogue and Jacqueline Bell.

This publication is made possible through the support of the Canada Council for the Arts (CCA) and the Iris Westerberg Stern Fund, Concordia University.
