Towell's
work engages the issues of our time, from conflict and displacement
in Central America, to social unrest in the Middle East. His
images record the dynamic of the immediate present, the explosive
vitality of the here and now, and the way that this immediacy
is linked to the historical continuity in the areas that he
has covered. He became the first Canadian member of the Magnum
Photo Agency in 1988.
This exhibition represents his work in Central America, Palestine,
and in Mennonite communities in Canada and Mexico.
