Memory-Scapes – Presentation and Workshop

Opening Events for the 2025 FORMS, FACES & SPACES, figuratively speaking! show in May, Saturday afternoon, May 3, include a themed afternoon following the morning’s Reception and Awards Ceremony.  This is dedicated to exploring and experiencing a basic premise about photography’s creative expression. In Dr. Aditi Ganeev Sangwan’s words, “to take a picture is to intend to create a memory.”

Memory-Scapes explores the many facets, prompts, and motivations that create memories for us, but most importantly, this afternoon will have people considering where do we stores our memories – besides our cell phones – and what makes something remarkable?  Why do certain things trigger a memory?  The afternoon will have something for everybody in the Studio, Lower Level of the Halton Hills Cultural Centre.
