The City of Toronto Archives’ newest photography exhibition showcases recent digital donations from three Canadian artists: April Hickox, Vik Pahwa and Avard Woolaver. Featuring photos of Toronto from the 1980s to the late 2000s, the exhibition explores how contemporary artists use photography to capture the ever-changing city.

Hickox’s vernacular photographs document the uniqueness of the Toronto Island community. Pahwa surveys the city with a camera, photographing its architecture and neighbourhoods. Woolaver, whose collection is comprised of digital photos created from colour slides and black-and-white negatives, explores composition and repetitive likeness. Toronto is a city shown in shadows, shapes, and window reflections.
