Rencontres internationales de la photographie en Gaspésie

3rd edition: Shaping the course
Exhibits: July 6 to September 10, 2012
Professional week: August 18 to 25, 2012

Over 900 photos | 30 photographers from Québec and elsewhere, recognized or emerging | 20 activities in the presence of photographers | 13 host municipalities in the Gaspé.

On the theme “Shaping the course,” the 3rd edition of Rencontres internationales de la photographie en Gaspésie is an invitation to travel the Gaspé Peninsula and follow the artistic trajectory of 30 photographers. In other words, this particular tour of the Gaspé takes the form of a trip around the world by way of different photographic records from here and elsewhere.

Rencontres this year is spotlighting the role of the artist in society, with the idea of providing experiences for the eye and food for thought while addressing different esthetics, different probings of the landscape, the environment, the region and the representation of day-to-day life.

Everyone’s invited to take part in Rencontres – no one more than Gaspé natives themselves, since they’re the ones hosting this one-of-a-kind event!
