Ontario Art Gallery alters title of a Carr painting22/05/201816/01/2026Curators at the Art Gallery of Toronto change the name of Carr's 1929 painting Indian Church to Church at Yuquot Village. This sparks a debate about whether this is respect for indigineous culture or censorship of an artist. Georgiana Uhlyarik, one of the Ontaria curators, indicates that the original title is preserved in the informational plaque next to the painting. "'We feel that we are moving something forward, rather than staying in one place and repeating ... the hurt of that word,' Uhlyarik, the co-leader of the AGO's department of Indigenous and Canadian art, told As It Happens host Carol Off."https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-tuesday-edition-1.4672905/why-the-art-gallery-of-ontario-removed-indian-from-the-name-of-this-emily-carr-painting-1.4672934https://i.cbc.ca/1.4673030.1527008329!/fileImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/16x9_780/emily-carr-indian-church-church-at-yuquot-village.jpgEmily Carr's painting, originally titled "Indian Church" renamed to Church at Yuquot VillageB.C.
