Matrilineal Hauntings Catalogue Launch

Matrilineal Hauntings is an exhibition catalogue documenting Kathy Kranias’ 2022 site-specific installation of ceramic sculptures at 43 Queen’s Park Cres East in Toronto. Drawing on family histories in a 19th century house built by Kranias’ ancestors, the installation bridges generations of women through architecture as a site of violence, status, and home.
