Pounding the Pavement: Montreal Street Photography
View from the Sidewalk
— Stéphanie Hornstein

A keen observer of the city and its streets—as well as of street photography—Stéphanie Hornstein comments here on the exhibition Pounding the Pavement, a broad survey of this photographic genre as it has been practiced in Montreal since the 19th century. She reviews the exhibition’s six sections, highlighting curator Zoë Tousignant’s intent to redefine street photography and to foreground its social value over its aesthetic concerns.
