📣📣📣 On March 10-11, @mocatoronto and @agotoronto are hosting Collective Views: A Symposium on Photography in Toronto. This symposium offers a chance to reflect on Toronto and its relationship to photography. Across three sessions spanning the 1970s to the present, it brings together artists, artworks, cultural figures, scholars, exhibitions, organizations, collections, art schools, and publications that have shaped evolving understandings of the city and the medium - describing Toronto as a place where photography continues to be vital, generative, and connective. The symposium is co-presented on the occasion of Collective Visions: Celebrating 25 Years of Photography at the AGO and Jeff Wall: Photographs, 1984-2023 at MOCA - details at ago.ca 📸📸📸

Installation in progress! ‘What Matters Most: Photographs of Black Life’ opening Aug 27, featuring the Fade Resistance Collection, a labour of love and collaboration. Many minds and hands made this project possible and made it richer, over many years, including CCL X @ccl_curators , @seanosean , @drkmontague , @julie_zacfilms colleagues of the Family Camera Network, @spemilla , @averysteelart , @emcroning , @alex.arslanyan , @tarakeensdouglas , and many more not on IG, but most especially @zunleephoto , creator of the collection and co-curator. The exhibition aims to create space to consider the role family photographs play in forging Black identities, and to ask bigger questions, including whether seeing private pictures in a public place can serve a broader social purpose.
