Another Exhibition! (Re) Producing Identity


Hey everyone,
Here's another exhibit I found at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, that's related to what we're doing in class... Oddly enough I've found all these events but can't seem to find what I was actually looking for... :) This is the outline: ' This exhibition of photographs explores the formative period in the history of multiculturalism in Canada by focusing on the work of photographer Michel Lambeth. Taken primarily in Toronto during the 1950s and 60s, Lambeth’s photographs present an idealized view of happy co-existence between immigrants and Canadians. Providing visual evidence of successful integration and diffusing tension through humour and perceptive observation, these photographs helped shape contemporary notions of diversity and Canadian identity.' Again, admission is free, and here's the link if you wanna check it out:
