We are delighted to announce and extend our warmest congratulations to Dawit L. Petros on being shortlisted as a finalist for the esteemed 2025 Scotiabank Photography Award.
The Scotiabank Photography Award is Canada’s largest and most prestigious annual peer-nominated and peer-reviewed award that acknowledges the outstanding contribution that artists have made to contemporary art and photography. These are artists who strive to invent, influence and redefine the reception of art in ways that will endure.
The Scotiabank Photography Award jury has recognized gallery artist Dawit L. Petros, a Montreal-based artist from Québec, for his powerful work that critically examines historical erasures and the lasting consequences of colonialism. His photography creates intricate visual narratives that connect different places and times, demonstrating the profound capacity of the medium to foster critical thought and tell meaningful stories.
This recognition as a finalist is a testament to the significant impact and artistic merit of Dawit L. Petros' work, and we at Tiwani Contemporary are incredibly proud of this achievement.
The winner of the 2025 Scotiabank Photography Award will be announced in late May.
