 Transferring authority and creating spaces for restitution through contemporary art 
This article deals with three contemporary art exhibitions, all presented in the Quebec region between 2017 and 2019, and which, through different decolonial actions, weaves relationships between art, museums, communities, and territories. The artists and curators – native and non-native – involved in these three projects develop strategies embedded in relational art to engage in critical reflections on the message of the museum space – a site of knowledge production, transmission and control – in colonized territories. By studying these three projects, we hope to explore the possible engagement of contemporary art in repatriation projects and develop new models of relationships between museums and communities.
