SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art operates less like a traditional white cube and more like an evolving site of exchange—where art intersects with politics, collaboration, and cultural accountability. Located in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyaang/Montreal on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory, SBC is as much about process as it is about product. Its programming favours slow-burn investigations and long-term relationships with artists, curators, and collectives engaged in the urgent, the experimental, and the socially entangled. Exhibitions are often accompanied by public programs, publications, and research initiatives, all guided by a commitment to critical dialogue and institutional transparency. The gallery is part of a larger network of artist-driven, decolonial, and justice-oriented spaces in Montreal and beyond, making room for creative and political risk while centring work that resists easy classification. It’s not just about what’s on the walls—it’s about who gets to speak, and how.
