A Montreal photographer who says he found \u0022hidden beauty\u0022 when he visited last year\u0027s \u0022Freedom Convoy\u0022 occupation of Ottawa is exhibiting his portraits of protesters at a Sussex Drive gallery

A press release from photographer Paul Ozzello and Art + Galerie calls the images “both striking and controversial,” while inviting viewers to see the exhibit and “engage in thoughtful and respectful dialogue about the issues it raises.”Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

Bex said it was “more of a coincidence” that Ozzello’s exhibit will fall on the anniversary of the occupation. He said he had planned on the exhibit happening sooner, but Ozzello needed more time to prepare his work. “I know talk of the truckers can be very triggering to some and I hope my less critical viewpoint of the protest isn’t a complete turn-off,” Ozzello said. “This is coming from someone double-jabbed who sewed several thousand masks for my doctor friends at the beginning of the pandemic.

“I eventually started talking to many of the truckers and realized that these people really weren’t much different from myself,” Ozzello said. “Journalists have received death threats littered with racist epithets. Others have been spat on and verbally and physically harassed. In another case, the windows of a CBC/Radio-Canada news cruiser were broken,” said a Jan. 28, 2022 press release from the CAJ.

Not dissimilar to the 'hidden beauty' of a genocide.

I too was drawn to photograph this event. I think this exhibition is a wonderful idea!

Hidden because non-existent.

Oh, this is probably not a good idea... canceled 🤣
