Algonkin photographer Claude Latour has spent the last year documenting our streets. Well, the streets outside meetings of international leaders when they are filled with anti-globalization activists and riot police, that is.

In preparation for protests against the upcoming G8 meetings in Kananaskis, take a look at protests past through Latour’s lens. His black-and-white digital photography and multimedia works are inspired by the potent mix of traditional teachings and current events.

The photographic essay, Our Streets, excerpted here is showing now through June 30 at Irene’s in Ottawa. Please call 613-594-3263 for more information.
