The 11th edition of Rencontres internationales de la photographie en Gasp\u00e9sie will have \u201cResistance\u201d as its theme and run from July 15 to September 30, 2020, in ten or so settings throughout the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cResistance\u201d is just the right word to launch this 11th edition! Long before the current global situation, the theme of resistance drew its meaning in an opposition to the state of the planet, to the race for a balanced budget at all costs, to a lack of humanity, and to the environment belittled oh so many times in the name of the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remaining, enduring, resisting<\/i><\/span><\/strong>: that\u2019s one response available to us when we\u2019re overwhelmed by something bigger than ourselves. Art, photography, in harmony with a work-as-revelation, artist-sites, expanding the awareness of a region \u2012 these are what make up the richness of an itinerary extending over more than 800 kilometers. The artistic body of this edition shapes itself around a vision, a proposal both open and poetic. The photograph, the image in motion: it questions, rises, astonishes, disrupts, unsettles. As in contrast to the current tragedy\u2026 We\u2019ve brought together artists in a catalyzing artistic project that offers different points of view on the theme of resistance. There\u2019s also the question of protecting the common good, the individual and collective act. Like an observatory on the current state of things, one that is full of humanity and hope, photography has the power of allowing us to see the invisible!<\/span><\/p>\n

Resisting<\/i><\/span><\/strong> is reflected in our decision to launch outdoor exhibitions until September 30, 2020 with a view to offering, in complete safety, a programming imbued with light and poetry to citizens of the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula and to our partnering parks and host municipalities.<\/span><\/p>\n
