PHOTOPOLIS is a city-wide celebration of photography in Halifax from 1 -31 October, includes 35 photography exhibits, 40 events (openings, artist talks, public discussions, portfolio reviews, film screenings) and a one-day symposium. The Naval Museum of Halifax will host an exhibit of work by from Allen Crooks, 8 October to 15 November, titled: Season of Remembrance This series of black and white photographs explores Remembrance Day ceremonies and other commemorations that honor Canadian men and women who have not only served our country; but who have served as liberators and protectors around the globe. The photographs pose the question: How do we honor these people and ensure that the act of remembrance continues? The Canadian presence in Europe during WWI and WWII continues to resonate. While travelling through Belgium to Ypres, Allen Crooks witnessed this first hand passing a car with a bumper stick, which read…”honk if you love Canada” which made the sacrifice of Canadians a very real and emotional experience for him.
