Témiscouata Haut en Couleur: Portraits of Immigrant Journeys
The MRC of Témiscouata initiated a project highlighting eight immigrants who have settled in the region. Photographer met and created portraits with each subject, allowing them to choose the location, color, and preferred image. The approach shares creative power with the subjects, emphasizing natural expression. The exhibition aims to showcase human journeys and remind that immigrants are neighbors, friends, colleagues, and citizens, not just labor market responses.
