It Pays To Play: British Columbia In Postcards, 1950S To 1980S

Curated by: Peter White

An investigation into the use of photographic postcards from the 1950s through to the 1980s in British Columbia. Among many considerations, the project looks at issues such as memory and identity, place/community, nature/landscape, urbanism, tourism and leisure.

A catalogue in conjunction with the exhibition was co-published by Presentation House Gallery and Arsenal Pulp Press, with text by Peter White.
