How to Remember for the Future invites nine artists from the Humber College community to explore the documentation of unexpected experiences that affect their memories of a certain time and place. We asked them what it means to create with intention in a world whose priorities and environments may no longer be predictable nor sustainable. After observing local and global events, and balancing issues such as gender politics, IBPoC representation, and climate change, how do they adapt as artists and continue to create? And to what extent can these present-day experiences shape their own futures? This action of memory-making is especially applicable in photography, where the physical act of taking a picture simultaneously records and omits subjects and their surroundings. It affects not only the ways in which a photographer may reminisce about the past, but how they remember for the future.

This curated, college-wide exhibition takeover is installed across Humber College’s Lakeshore, North, and Downtown campuses. These nine artists are a mix of emerging and professional photographers, and include Humber students, staff, faculty, and alumni.
