Behind Racism

Challenging the Way We Think

Developed in partnership with the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF), Behind Racism: Challenging the Way We Think is a new exhibition that explores the mental processes that contribute to racism and discrimination. It shows how the processes that can help us think and act quickly can lead to dangerous biases against people who are different from us. This show challenges visitors to acknowledge the role these processes play in their own lives while exploring some of Canada’s history and its connection to present-day racism and inequities.
