The Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ) and its Fondation, and their valued partner, The RBC Royal Bank are proud to announce that Anahita Norouzi has won the grand prize of this unique award in Canada.
The committee members emphasized the remarkable development of her practice in recent years. “Her career displays considerable coherence and reflects sustained research, subtly exploring the links between sculpture, photography, installations, and the new media,” noted Guillaume Savard, Director of Collections and Research, MNBAQ. “Her works display a powerful aesthetic and robust materiality. Her work focuses on very timely issues, in particular the theme of migration and movement, while proposing a varied, complex definition of identity,” Mr. Savard concluded on behalf of the committee.
