''L'actualité par les femmes afghanes''

Exposition consacrée aux femmes oeuvrant
dans le domaine des communications en Afghanistan

Voices on the Rise: Afghan Women Making the News
This exhibit examines the lives of Afghan women journalists,
producers, managers, writers, photographers, filmmakers,
human rights activists and parliamentarians.
Information in English

L'Université d'Ottawa, en collaboration avec l'université Carleton et l'ambassade d'Afghanistan au Canada, sera l'hôte d'une exposition importante consacrée aux femmes oeuvrant dans le domaine des communications en Afghanistan.

Des voix qui portent : L'actualité par les femmes afghanes observe la vie de femmes afghanes qui exercent les professions de journaliste, productrice, gestionnaire, auteure, photographe, cinéaste, activiste des droits humains et parlementaire.

L'exposition montre aux visiteurs l'existence quotidienne de ces femmes et le difficile équilibre qu'elles doivent préserver entre leurs libertés nouvelles et leurs responsabilités domestiques traditionnelles, tout en composant avec les fantômes d'un passé collectif pénible.

Ces photos révèlent de quelle façon ces femmes sont de véritables révolutionnaires dont la voix peut maintenant se faire entendre dans les médias, et qui, par leur travail, aident à donner une voix à toutes les femmes afghanes.

L'exposition présente le travail des photographes canadiennes Leslie Knott, Lana Slezic, Marija Dumancic et Elise Jacob. Cette exposition, la première du genre au monde, est organisée par Jane McElhone et Khorshied Samad.

L'exposition a été présenté à l'Université d'Ottawa jusqu'au 18 octobre 2006, et se déplacera ensuite au rez-de-chaussée de la Maxwell MacOdrum Library, à l'Université Carleton, du 23 octobre au 6 novembre 2006

The True Meaning of Pictures: Shelby Lee Adams' Appalachia
(a movie review)

TAKE ONE,  March-May, 2003  by Kathleen Cummins

2002 75m prod Mercury Films, p Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier, d Jennifer Baichwal, ph Nicholas de Pencier, ed David Wharnsby, s Jane Tattersall; with Shelby Lee Adams, the Childer family, the Nappier family, the Riddle family, Hort Collins, Dwight Billings, A.D. Coleman, Vicki Goldberg, Wendy Edward, Mary Ellen Mark.

"You photograph the natural life, but you also, by your juxtaposition of detail, create an interpretation of it." John Grierson

"I'm pushing you, the viewer, and challenging you. That's why I'm in there with the camera six inches away from Selena's face. I think you need to he confronted with that. By getting in there with the camera, by creating some distortions, I'm hoping to make everyone think. What is our job here as a human being? Stop making judgments and experience life. I'm experiencing this environment. I'm trying to share with you, in an intimate way, that experience." Shelby Lee Adams

Jennifer Baichwal's The True Meaning of Pictures: Shelby Lee Adams' Appalachia is an uncompromising exploration into the controversial work of enigmatic American photographer, Shelby Lee Adams, well known for his photographs of the people of Appalachia, Kentucky. However, by way of Baichwal's structural skills, the film manages to transcend the cliches of the biopic formula so that Adams emerges as a fascinating case study for issues central to the politics and ethics of ethnography. Essentially, Baichwal's film is an exploration into the process of the construction of point--of--view. This is achieved with subtlety, restraint and critical rigour.
