Ebook: Photogenic Montreal: Activisms and Archives in a Post-industrial City

How photography imagines Montreal’s post-industrial identity.

Photographic objects are embedded in urban contestation, aesthetically charged by artists, reinserted into social histories, and mobilized to imagine a future city. Photogenic Montreal takes a question initially posed by heritage debates – what does photography preserve? – and creates a rich conversation about the agency of the human actors before and behind the camera, and of the medium itself.
