Little Burgundy – Evolving Montreal by Andrew Jackson

The McCord Stewart Museum has selected Andrew Jackson for the third photographic commission in its Evolving Montreal series. The Montreal-based British-Canadian artist’s research-creation project focuses on Little Burgundy. Andrew Jackson explores the urban, social and cultural transformations of the neighbourhood known as the cradle of Montreal’s Black Anglophone community. He is particularly interested in the themes of family, transnational migration, displacement, trauma, war and collective memory. As an artist expressing himself through documentary photography, he has an impressive track record.
