Toronto Gallery Openings: Nathaniel Brunt, Felix Kalmenson and more

Nathaniel Brunt, #shaheed, at Contact Gallery, February 10 to March 25.

After working as a photojournalist in the northern Indian conflict zone of Kashmir from 2013 to 16, Brunt questions his role as an outsider by contrasting his own documentary shots with vernacular photographs he collected in the region and images taken by fighters that he found online under the hashtag #shaheed (martyr). Brunt won Contact’s 2016 Portfolio Review Exhibition Award.
