SPAO Photographic Arts Centre proudly presents Catalyst

The SPAO Photographic Arts Centre proudly presents Catalyst, an exhibition in the SPAO Centre Gallery from May 23-September 14.

Catalyst showcases eight photo-based artists from across Canada who are revitalizing historic and analogue photographic processes in their work. Using processes such as wet plate collodion, tintype, anthotype, and gum bichromate, the artists in this exhibition acknowledge the complex legacies of photography in Canada, while at the same time reclaiming these processes as tools of resistance, reflection, and celebration.
As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary, we reflect on SPAO’s enduring commitment to analogue photographic arts education by highlighting artists who signal a powerful return to hands-on image-making.

Artists include:

EVERGON
Christine Fitzgerald
Natalie Goulet
Anahita Norouzi
Francis O’Shaughnessy
Morgan Sears-Williams
Michelle Sound
Kali Spitzer

CATALYST Closing Reception:
Friday September 12, from 5:00PM - 7:00PM
