TIEd Together

At a time when one in seven Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, there has never been a more pressing need for PhotoSensitive to partner with Prostate Cancer Canada to raise awareness of the disease.

PhotoSensitive is partnering with Prostate Cancer Canada to produce TIEd Together, a black-and-white photographic exhibition telling the stories of Canadians' experiences with prostate cancer.

The project features around 100 images of people affected by the disease, along with their stories. There will also be a considerable video component, with several survivors talking about their experiences. The show debuted in Halifax and is now travelling across Canada.
