InFocus Photo Exhibit 2021
The 7th annual InFocus Photo Exibit and Awards took place this past February and the exhibit was on display through the end of April. This years theme was Brave New World.
The InFocus Photo Exhibit is an annual thematic survey of the best of Canadian photography. InFocus presents the current cultural climate in photography within Canada. The mission of InFocus Photo Exhibit is to promote and exhibit innovative, thoughtful, and provocative photography created by Canadian contemporary image-makers. InFocus 2021 is the seventh annual InFocus exhibition. InFocus Photo Exhibit was founded by Alexis Marie Chute and Aaron Chute in 2014. (taken from the InFocus website)
“The theme of InFocus Photo Exhibit & Awards 2021 is “Brave New World.” Borrowing the title of Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World, this photographic exhibition captures the world we are living in today. InFocus 2021 photographers present their take on major world issues, how life in Canada is impacted, the good and the bad, the tragic and the hopeful. Does modern life fit a dystopian model, or are we on the brink of a new, more peaceful, healthy, happy age? What is our place in the world and how do we make sense of self amidst our rapidly changing ways of life?”
One of our graduating students, Dan Gadowski, had one of his images selected for the exhibit this year. The image, Political Apocalypse, was captured and created for one of his assignments during the program. You can view more of his work on his website.
