The Clichettes: Lips, Wigs and Politics

On view now - November 22, 2024
Curated by Ivana Dizdar

Bridging theatre, lip-sync, dance, drag, costume, and comedy, the renowned Canadian artist trio The Clichettes developed a groundbreaking practice at the crossroads of performance art and feminist satire. This exhibition focuses on The Clichettes’ collaboration from 1978 to 1993, when Louise Garfield, Janice Hladki, and Johanna Householder performed to fervent audiences in Toronto and internationally, animating galleries, bars, cabarets, concert halls, festivals, benefits, rallies, and the streets.

Please note: The Clichettes exhibition involves mature themes. Viewer discretion is advised.
