Pounding the Pavement. Montreal Street Photography
from Apr 17, 2025 to Oct 26, 2025
McCord Stewart museum
Pounding the Pavement. Montreal Street Photography celebrates the practice of street photography in our city, from the 19th century to today. The 400-plus images featured in the exhibition shed light on the history, neighbourhoods and atmosphere of Montreal.
The exhibition features 30 bodies of work captured by photographers who have endeavoured to document Montreal’s social fabric, each in their own way. While their images reveal the city’s beauty, they also communicate its complexity, contradictions, diversity and humour.

Costume Balls – Dressing Up History, 1870-1927
A century and a half ago, extravagant costume balls and skating carnivals were the pinnacle of society entertainments, bringing forth a kaleidoscopic array of fanciful costumed characters. But, beneath all the anachronistic exuberance, these balls reinforced core myths of colonial destiny and imperial futures.

Little Burgundy – Evolving Montreal
Andrew Jackson’s exhibition Little Burgundy – Evolving Montreal is a foray into this south-western district of the city. Over a two-year period, the photographer documented important landmarks for the Black community and met people who grew up there, live there or still have ties to the area.
