Documenting the ghosts in our industrial food machine
Please support our coverage of democratic movements and become a supporting member of rabble.ca.
With the aid of a local guide, Toronto photographer Jo-Anne McArthur climbs through the fence at a fox fur farm in an undisclosed location in the European countryside.
There, row after row of buildings cover cage after cage of frightened animals; the foxes are grey and black, beautiful -- and making unearthly cries and groans, like the sounds from a horror film. But these noises are very much part of the capitalistic, industrialized relationship between humans and animals.
Sex workers' lives uncovered through the Exposure Project photographs
A man in an owl mascot outfit is feeding pigeons on the steps of a downtown Toronto church. It's a surreal scene captured by one of the sex workers participating in the Exposure Project, a new program that puts cameras in the hands of women working the streets.
"It's an incredible shot," notes Kaleigh Middelkoop, one of two female photographer-mentors who volunteered their services to teach 12 sex workers, some who are now off the street, to frame the world they live in.
"The mascot guy looked so sad. And, just imagine that she bothered to stop and took the time to take the shot. I love it so much."
