Summary:
In an age of unprecedented human impact on the planet, certain countries stand out for their privileged positions and the complexity of their relationships with nature. Today, Canada's environmental record is among the poorest when compared to other wealthy nations, a fact that suggests ambivalence, and the actions of competing interests, which are most often exposed in moments of disorder and disregard for the unexpected consequences of managing the country's seemingly endless bounty. The 15 case studies presented here reframe Canada since 1945, and these surprising events are grounded in conversations about cultural myths and the legal environment, changing ideas of natural resources and environmental risk, indigenous engagement with environmentalism and development, and the impacts of the environmentalist movement.

Summary:
Il s'agit ici d'une contre-histoire distillant quelques faits déroutants et autres contradictions qui se dissimulent derrière le concept dominant de progrès; une notion qui a subjugué notre imagination et a défini notre relation à l'environnement. Dans une époque caractérisée par l'ampleur sans précédent de l'impact de l'activité humaine sur la planète, nous devons réexaminer les hypothèses fondamentales et les préjugés qui président à nos actions et les justifient. Il faut inventer de nouveaux récits, et le cas du Canada n'est qu'un exemple parmi d'autres des contradictions frappantes entre une vision idéalisée de la nature et une réalité qui s'avère complexe et troublante. Le livre qui accompagne l’exposition (à l’affiche de novembre 2016 jusqu’à avril 2017) présente quinze études de cas, replacés dans leur contexte grâce à cinq entrevues.
