The exhibit features photographs and oral histories collected through The Family Camera Network, a SSHRC-funded public archive that collects and preserves family photographs and their stories (see their webpage here.) It also includes loans from The Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives, a partner in this project, and from the University of Winnipeg. This exhibit has been curated by Elspeth Brown (lead) and Thy Phu with the assistance of Jennifer Orpana, Sajdeep Soomal, Richard Fung, Mark Kasumovic, Tori Abel, Lucie Handley-Girard, and Sarah Parsons. The exhibit was re-mounted digitally by Zohar Freeman. We acknowledge the support of The ArQuives, Western University, Stephen Bulger Gallery, and York University. The images here are displayed with the kind permission of most of the individuals represented in the photographs.
