Process
Do It for the Grain

Process is an exhibition organized by Do It for the Grain (DIFTG) to celebrate the 2-year anniversary of their publication. DIFTG is an emerging Ottawa-based analog photography zine that promotes and empowers local photographers through accessible publications.

Show Description

Do It for the Grain celebrates physical photography and publications in an increasingly virtual world. The process of creating images through analog methods can be experimental, timely, and exciting - not unlike DIFTG’s growth over the past two years. To commemorate their anniversary, DIFTG is showcasing their selection of lens-based artists in Ottawa working in analog mediums, with emphasis on those who bend the rules and experiment with the medium. This occasion also marks their expansion into the realm of limited-edition photo books and zines, produced in-house to facilitate and guide the projects and artistic visions of emerging local photographers. If this past year has taught us anything, it’s that although the future is uncertain, their process will evolve with it.
