The Future of Canadian Photography Is at the Belljar Cafe in Toronto This Evening

Photo by Chloë Ellingson.

If you're freezing your ass off in Toronto tonight, come out for a photo show featuring work by Canada-based photographers as diverse as the city itself. Our good pal and VICE contributor Liam Maloney and Lisa Kannako will be hosting the first Toronto iteration of the Open Show starting at 7 PM at the Belljar Cafe, 2072 Dundas Street West. Work will range from Thomas Dagg's nostalgic glimpse into Star Wars to Chris Katsarov Luna's look at the industrial sector in Ontario, and Quebec-raised Laurence Butet-Roch's personal take on sovereignty through her examination of the Scottish bid for independence. Chloë Ellingson will show her ongoing work following native language in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, while Nathaniel Brunt's pieces document the India-Pakistan dispute over the Kashmir region.

So if you're interested in learning what the next generation of Canadian photographers are working on, swing on by. If you've got work that you'd like to submit for the next Open Show, check out their website, or just bug Liam at the event tonight (don't tell him we sent you).

Here's the Facebook event, if you're into that sort of thing, and here is some of the work they'll be showing and talking about.
