I am fundraising money to show this project at Toronto’s Communication gallery, 209 Harbord St., from March 10 to March 31, 2011. Your support will help to cover a large portion of the costs associated with this exhibition.
The opening will be on March 10, 2011. The event will be private, drinks will be served.
RocketHub is not an investment or charity. It is an exchange: funds from friends for rewards from me. It's all or nothing: if I don't reach my financial goal, you get your money back.
About this project:
Prisoners
This body of work represents a cross section of the people arrested and charged in Canada’s largest mass arrest at the 2010 G-20 Summit in Toronto. These photographs were taken outside of the first court appearance for all the individuals charged during the summit. These portraits and stories are a record of the aftermath of the summit.
Made up of world leaders representing the majority of international trade, the stated goal of the Summit was to connect politicians, allowing them to openly discuss economic policies and concepts to socially advance the world we live in.
The well-documented police brutality, violence, civil disorder and the states response to it challenged all the democratic freedoms that Canadians have traditionally been known for. Over the course of two days Toronto descended into a police state. The politically privileged opportunistically seized the moment to deploy the police as agents of the state to violently establish their control on the city as they imposed their idea of order.
This is a portrait series chronicling the individuals that were part of Canada’s largest mass arrest at the G-20 summit in the summer of 2010 in Toronto. Ironically resembling police arrest photos, the portraits are mixed with written accounts of the subject’s experiences. Giving a different voice to the series, the handwriting becomes portraits on their own. The statements tell a story different from the official police record largely reported by Toronto’s media.
Thank you for you support.
