Flânerie at the Image Centre

Join us for an flânerie at the Image Centre (Toronto Metropolitan University) for a guided tour of the exhibitions Magnum’s First and Children of Europe (1949), led by curator Gaëlle Morel. This flânerie in Toronto offers a unique opportunity to explore significant photographic archives and discover post-war perspectives through emblematic works.

As we explore these images together, participants are invited to reflect on the visual narratives of a world undergoing reconstruction. These photographs bear witness to both the historical upheavals and the human aspirations that shaped the post-war era, opening a dialogue between memory, history, and contemporary creation.

The Image Centre (IMC), Canada’s leading institution dedicated to photography, offers a privileged context for this exploration. With its exhibitions and a collection of over 500,000 works, it is an essential venue for photographic research and dissemination.

The tour will be guided by Gaëlle Morel, art historian and curator of exhibitions at the Image Centre. A specialist in contemporary photography, her research focuses notably on the figure of the artist as author and on the recognition of this medium in France and North America.
