Nick Kozak Puts on Haiti Earthquake Exibition

Broke, an exhibition of photos from post-quake Haiti by Photo MA graduate Nick Kozak features 28 photographs of nearly 2000 shot between January 18 and 22, days after the massive earthquake, on display at 52 McCaul in Toronto. The concept of Fix runs in conjunction with the exhibition; a fundraising initiative with all proceeds and donations going to CARE Canada's work in Haiti. The show runs from March 3-14 and thus far has raised over $5000.00.

The show also features a large print that was torn into 54 pieces and distributed in special invites to people around Toronto. Invitees were asked to bring the pieces back and participate in fundraising and dialogue about Haiti.

The show has received quite a bit of attention and Nick was invited to speak about his experiences on CBC Radio.
