Outdoor Exhibition: The Art of Haiku
From April 14 to September 12
At the Peace Park Arboretum
Presented for free, as part of the Asian Heritage Month, in cooperation with Haiku Canada, Montrealʼs Black Tea Haiku Group, and The Friends of The Dorval Library
This collaborative exhibit features original haikus from local, regional, and international poets, inspired by a selection of photos by the award-winning Montreal photographer Hua Jin.
The resulting panels portray a variety of settings, elements, colours, and energies rooted in nature, and are a nod to haiga, the traditional Japanese art form that incorporates images with poetry.
Take your time and savour the breathtaking beauty of a moment through The Art of Haiku.
