In a double solo exhibition on campus, The University of Winnipeg will present two distinct bodies of
work created by Winnipeg photographer Gerry Kopelow. While Where The Buddha Walked and Forty
Years Ago Today tackle different subjects and are separated in time by four decades, they are
connected as integral moments in Kopelow's artistic career. Forty Years Ago Today consists of black
and white shots of Canadian youth culture from 1969-70, taking viewers back to the origins of
Kopelow's photographic practice. Capturing spontaneous moments of the youth hippie scene of the
day, the emerging photographer worked in the tradition of W. Eugene Smith and Henri Cartier-
Bresson. These images will be shown in the Hamilton Galleria and University Archives, both located
in The University of Winnipeg’s Library.
