About the exhibit

The Canadian Cancer Society is pleased to be partnered with PhotoSensitive to present Cancer Connections, a nationwide photo exhibit that explores the impact cancer has on the lives of Canadians.

The vision of this exhibit is to invite Canadians to tell their story of living with cancer using the power of black and white photography, and by sharing with others to be a catalyst for engaging and connecting a nation in conversations about cancer.

The national launch of Cancer Connections was held in Toronto on May 20, 2008. The exhibition will be seen in 11 major cities in 10 provinces over a two-year period, engaging and mobilizing individuals and communities across the country, with a grand finale in Ottawa in 2010.

About PhotoSensitive
PhotoSensitive is a non-profit, national collective of photographers that harnesses the power of the camera to contribute to dialogue and impact on important issues of the day. For the past 18 years, the sum of these visions has provided compelling social comments on issues such as AIDS, child poverty, hospital care, health, racism, injustice, literacy among First Nations peoples, and the aftermath of the tsunami disaster, to name a few. Cancer Connections is its most ambitious project to date. Utilizing photographers across Canada to photograph issues that impact the well-being of Canadians, PhotoSensitive uses the camera to tell a story, spur viewers to action and change the world, one photo at a time.
