Can philosophy influence photography? Pierre Poulain certainly thinks so. The Tel Aviv-based photographer will be at Toronto’s Centre for Social Innovation next week to open a photo exhibit (May 12) and lead a seminar focused on cultural diversity, philosophy and of course, photography (May 13).
Poulain is the founder of the New Acropolis School of Philosophy in Israel. New Acropolis was born in Argentina in 1957 and has blossomed around the world, including branches in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. Poulain visits all three Canadian outposts on his current tour.
The Toronto visit could hardly be better timed given that it occurs smack in the middle of the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival. In addition to the two CSI talks, Poulain leads a workshop at the University of Toronto Multi-Faith Centre May 14 from 10 am – 5 pm entitled Wisdom Through the Lens: Change the Way You See the World.
WHERE/WHEN: Official launch, The Geometry of Light, May 12, 6:30 pm at the Centre for Social Innovation (215 Spadina); also Cultural Diversity: How Can We Manage It and Appreciate Its Value?, May 13, 7:30 pm at CSI. Wisdom Through the Lens at UofT Multi-Faith Centre (569 Spadina Avenue), May 14, 10 am – 5 pm.
