Central to the project is Bednar’s framing of the Fraser as a working river; his images highlight its history and continued importance to First Nations communities and include the development of industries such as logging, shipping, fishing and tourism. The City of Richmond, located on Lulu Island at the mouth of the Fraser River, is home to numerous industries presently lining its river banks.
The exhibition installed in the gallery windows facing Minoru Boulevard is made possible through a partnership with Richmond Public Art, and is part of the Capture Photography Festival.
Michael Bednar is recognized internationally for his work exploring the intersections of humans and the environment. Bednar studied and worked in forestry, fisheries and wildlife prior to becoming a photographer. His work has appeared in numerous publications including Asian Geographic, Geo Magazine and British Columbia Magazine.
