Canadian Photographs: 1950 – Present | A Group Exhibition

Details

Recent events have encouraged Canadians to reflect on the significance of our country. When we think of the places, people, and events that have shaped our collective memory, photographs often come to mind. In support of this reflection and to inspire deeper appreciation, we present a selection of works that highlight the evolution of photography over the past seventy-five years and its important role in documenting history.

This exhibition primarily features photographs taken in Canada. Organized chronologically, the exhibition includes original examples by photographers who exhibited in camera club salons during the 1950s and 1960s, and explores the continuing influence of documentary practice from that period to the present. It also traces the rise of photography accepted as art, and its growing prominence.
