‘Larger than life’ photos of Indigenous people taken in places around the city
A photography exhibit featuring portraits of Indigenous people will be on display outside Toronto City Hall for the next two months.
Nadya Kwandibens, who is Toronto’s photo laureate, recently had portraits from her Red Chair Sessions series installed at Nathan Phillips Square as part of both the Contact photography festival and Doors Open Toronto.
Kwandibens is Anishinaabe (Ojibway) from Animakee Wa Zhing #37 First Nation (formerly Northwest Angle) in northwestern Ontario.
