A fresh look at disability

The Chut! Regardez… exhibition presents a series of 30 black and white photographs by artist Guy Fortin featuring people who live with an intellectual disability, some associated with various syndromes and some not. This project proposes a unique look from within, through which the participants recount their passions and their everyday lives in confidence, and express their zest for life, their creativity, and their courage. The exhibition is a moment of pride for these men, women, and children; it likewise offers the public a chance to get a different look at their reality, beyond appearances and clichés.
