TIW ‘Best in Show’ Award

Toronto Image Works is generously awarding Anthony Gebrehiwot, $500 in production support at TIW.

Anthony Gebrehiwot is a multiple award winning visual artist, photographer and community leader whose creative lens re-visions photography as an ongoing dialogue of social change between subject and society.
‍
His artistic exploration stems from his work with Black/pan-African diaspora communities in Toronto. As the former resident photographer at R.I.S.E. Edutainment (Reaching Intelligent Souls Everywhere), Gebrehiwot has intimately witnessed and documented the creative and unguarded evolutions of poets, musicians, and artists from across the city. Based in Scarborough, Gebrehiwot has worked to bring photography to youth in communities through organizations like the NIA Centre, The Power Plant, The Doris Mccarthy Gallery  and the Art Gallery of York University. His connection to youth and community, combined with his sustained self-dissection and constant desire to evolve, helped him to identify black identities as a focal topic for photographic inquiry.

Gallery 44 Emerging Artist Award

Gallery 44 is awarding Cruz a G44 membership and production credit for the continued support of their artistic practices.

Cruz is a first-generation Filipino artist based in Mississauga and Toronto, whose work explores vulnerability, intimacy, loss and self-discovery. While photography is their primary medium, they often merge both analog and digital processes, as well as poetry, to explore the intricate realm of human emotion. Cruz aims to connect with the core of what makes us human, striving to capture and express the essence of the human experience, focusing on reinterpreting imagery by altering its perception, presenting it in unconventional ways that challenge its typical role and purpose.
