Underline worked with Art Canada Institute to design Revision and Resistance, a book that celebrates the commission and creation by Kent Monkman of mistikôsiwak the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The book's cover uses a cutout that parallels the layered references in the paintings: in one of the paintings, Monkman reimagines the iconic 1851 oil painting Washington Crossing the Delaware with Indigenous people steering the vessel.
