#ThisIsMyHamOnt
April 6, 2016
Working together to create a visual story of Hamilton
This summer at the McMaster Museum of Art (MMA) we have two cityscape photography-based exhibitions:
One is Performing an Archive by Canadian artist Suzy Lake.
The second is Hamilton, presenting a series of photographs by a Hamilton-based Canadian artist, Joseph Hartman.
(These exhibitions open May 5.)
We’re launching a collaborative online project and we need your help. We want to create a photographic narrative of Hamilton BY Hamiltonians. Take photos of YOUR Hamilton.
What do you see outside your door?
On your way to school or work?
What is Hamilton to YOU?
Just take a photo on Instagram Twitter and hashtag it #ThisIsMyHamOnt

Book a Group #ThisIsMyHamOnt tour with us. You will:

FOR TEACHERS
You may encourage your students to participate in the hashtag and complement their own creative process with a # ThisIsMyHamOnt tour which includes links to the Ontario curriculum in guided group discussion and learning.
Students will work together through guided group discussion to interpret images shared via the #ThisIsMyHamOnt, as well as works on display in the MMA’s photography exhibitions.
