“WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO COME FROM MONCTON?”
Acadian author and cultural advocate, Gérald Leblanc was a unifier who inspired generations of Acadians to write, to stand out, and to celebrate their uniqueness and commonalities. His work greatly contributed to Moncton’s image as the literary and cultural capital of Acadie. The year 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of his passing.
How did the city influence him, and how did he influence the city and its residents? This retrospective exhibition recreates three iconic places, allowing visitors to experience Gérald’s Moncton: his apartment on Weldon Street, the terrace of Café Robinson, and the bar Le Kacho at the Université de Moncton.
