27 years ago today, we lost the great Djibril Diop Mambéty. His two features, Touki Bouki (1973) and Hyènes (1992), contain some of the most beautiful shots to ever grace our screens, and we've compiled some of our favourites (as well as the director's cameo in Hyènes). Enjoy!

Congratulations to Sandra Brewster on receiving the @CanadaCouncil's prestigious Photography Prize! 🎉

Renowned for her compelling explorations of identity, memory, and place through photo-based and multimedia art, Brewster brings a powerful lens to the diasporic experience.

We're honoured to feature her site-specific installation 𝘍𝘐𝘚𝘏 at the McMichael. The piece depicts the Essequibo River in Guyana and its distinctive fish species, evoking the fluidity and dynamism of water as a metaphor for migration and transformation.

We also invite you to watch David Hartman's short film capturing Sandra’s creative process and the themes of migration and belonging that anchor her work → https://t.co/rotm9axVTx

𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘢 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳: 𝘍𝘐𝘚𝘏 is presented in partnership with CONTACT Photography Festival.

Johatsu - Into Thin Air is an intriguing, often quite shocking documentary into toxic work environments and their repercussions on those affected by them.
