THE WORLD PRESS PHOTO MONTREAL 2019




WORLD PRESS PHOTO MONTRÉAL 2019 -
By Bernard Bujold -
The World Press Photo Montreal Exhibition runs from August 28 to September 29, 2019 at the Marché Bonsecours in Old Montreal. 
In all, the 150 international winning images are displayed in the Market Room with a series of additional local photo exhibitions or complementary activities on the second floor. 
The photos in the 2019 international edition are much less violent than those of recent years, but the main theme remains political current events in the world. Immigration, the situation of the environment, the place of women or men in various countries, the protection of wildlife, cultural customs, are all themes highlighted in the photos on display. 
We will note a section devoted to the phenomenon of twins, the authors of which are the two photographers Bénédicte Kurzen (France) and Sanne De Wilde (Belgium). This section was chosen to illustrate the outdoor exhibit installed along the canal at the corner of Queen Street in the Old Port. 
At the local level, a section produced by the newspaper l'Itinéraire on the second floor of the Marché Bonsecours is particularly noteworthy. 
The official Curator in Montreal representing the World Press Photo 2019 exhibition, which is headquartered in Amsterdam, is Samira Damato.
