The Wedge Collection, of which Dr Kenneth Montague is both owner and curator, is one of Canada’s largest private art collections. This compilation of photographs features iconic images within a contemporary exploration of African diasporic culture. Through a wide lens, images include those from Malick Sidibé, James Van Der Zee and Gordon Parks, plus the work of many lesser-known photographers too – as well as commentary by some of the most brilliant curators currently working.
