Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is proud to partner with Luminato Arts Festival for the Canadian debut of Side by Side, a new photo exhibit created in collaboration with world-renowned digital artist Uğur Gallenkuş. The exhibition features a selection of collages by Uğur created with original pictures from MSF’s archive. In our daily lives saturated with constant news, it is challenging to address the question of rights, safety, access to healthcare and the discrepancy between living conditions in different parts of the world. These side-by-side images portray starkly different realities that challenge us to reflect and look beyond our day to day to see the big picture. Side by Side launches on June 9 at David Pecaut Square in Toronto. Also on site, on June 9 starting at 1p.m., you’re invited to stop by the MSF tent to meet healthcare workers and staff as we come together to co-create an interactive art piece in collaboration with Oddside Arts. Together, we will explore vibrant visual patterns and write messages of solidarity in support of people facing forced displacement around the world.
