Perhaps the ultimate denial of freedom is captivity; this exhibition brings together photographic work that explores state suppression, control and containment, and summons the never-ending quest for individual liberty and human dignity. The exhibition is curated by Dona Schwartz (University of Calgary) and will feature works by artists Nina Berman, Edmund Clark, Paula Luttringer and Peter van Agtmael.
