Rebus Plates For Our Times
About the event
A rebus is a type of riddle that combines images and individual letters to represent words or phrases. In the 19th century, French rebuses printed on ceramic plates became popular, often featuring riddles that covered various themes, from moral lessons to social and political commentary.Inspired by a gifted plate, Mireille Perron’s exhibition Rebus Plates For Our Times/ Assiettes Rébus pour Les Temps Qui Courent blends the art of 19th-century rebus plates with powerful issues we face today.
