Pounding the Pavement: Montreal Street Photography

The exhibition celebrates the practice of street photography in our city, from the 19th century to today. The 400-plus images featured in the exhibition shed light on the history, neighbourhoods and atmosphere of Montreal. The exhibition features thirty groups of work captured by photographers who, each in their own way, have endeavoured to document Montreal’s social fabric. The images on view, which occasionally reveal the city’s beauty but more often convey its complexity, contradictions, diversity and comedy.
