Laurence earned a Ryerson Gold Medal, the Ryerson Board of Governors’ Leadership Award, and an “Artist-researcher-in-residence” position at the Transmedia Zone. As a photo-journalist, Laurence uses her camera to tell a story and bring to light concerns that she encounters in our society and environment, particularly as they relate to the First Nations. Following half a decade of documenting the lived realities of the Aamjiwnaang First Nation (Ontario), she joined forces with the community to combine Indigenous storytelling practices and experiential media. She kindly allowed me to photograph and present her images in this galley. Visit her website at LBRphoto.ca (John Stevenson – Oct 2018)
