Description
The objective of the collective research project “Architecture and/for Photography” is to understand if and how a photography collection such as the CCA’s is capable of fostering critical reflection on architectural practice, public education, civic memory, and social awareness. Following an international “call for captions” and a peer-review process, an interdisciplinary team of researchers and cultural producers was selected to work out micro-histories of the relationships between architecture and photography. Through workshops and residencies at the CCA in Montreal, the interdisciplinary team of researchers developed a collaborative, transversal approach that built on their different perspectives to question the role of photography in shaping the built environment.Participants:
