This summer, the MRC du Haut-Saint-Laurent is pleased to present a photography exhibit titled Les Capteurs d’images: In My Field of Vision.
On Sunday, June 12th, a group of students from Arthur-Pigeon secondary school will display their work at Alfred Langevin Cultural Hall. A part of Les Frontaliers Actifs, an extracurricular activity program at the local school, these young photographers will present works inspired by daily life.
The “Capteurs Images” exhibiting their work consists of Océane Foisy Drouin, Daphné Taillefer, Nickolas Thibeault Sévigny and Sabrina Vaillancourt. The students have been documenting their surroundings for the past few months from behind a camera—this June exhibition is meant to reveal what they have found in their everyday field of vision. According to their teacher Penny Paris, the students “…play a great deal with concepts that can be interpreted in several ways, such as rigidity, surprise, harmony. The goal is to get the students looking at things and framing what they see in various ways.”
The local hall is excited to support the local youth through their artistic efforts, as they feel it is important to continue to develop an interest in arts and culture in the region. “It is important to offer youth the possibility not only to view exhibitions, but also to participate in them. This has led to a collaboration with the school for a « youth » group exhibition to help them better understand all the steps in the creative process and to expand their horizons,” explained the hall’s coordinator, Nancy Brunelle.
The vernissage will take place on Sunday, June 12th at 2:00 P.M.
