<p class="MsoNormal">Opening Reception February 6 – 6-8pm<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">New Westminster Museum and Archives holds 230,000 photographs documenting scenes of the city’s history and its people. Community members donated the majority of these photographs creating a preferred narrative of our past, influencing the
stories told through exhibition, programming, and the media, and omitting the contributions of those not captured in this historic record.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Reframed: Understanding New West Through Photos</i></b> critically examines photographs acquired by New Westminster Museum and Archives since 1950. The exhibition articulates the role these images have played in shaping community
narrative, and reframes them to present a more genuine picture of the city’s past. By looking at who is, and is not, present in these photographs, we explore how a limited number of photographers shaped the early historic record of the city. This exhibition
compares the original vision of the photographer with the impact of their work. Evidence of forgotten stories appear at the fringes of their images and beyond the cropped areas of photos used for publication.
<b><i>Reframed</i></b> considers the role developing technology played in empowering New Westminster’s communities to document their own lives. With thousands of unnamed faces in the collection, this exhibition highlights the power that names hold to discover
hidden histories from marginalized populations. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The exhibition critically examines the ways in which we can reframe our knowledge about the city by highlighting its marginalized stories.<o:p></o:p></p>
