“After They Leave is a reminder of our responsibility to protect what we have and ensure there is something left for future generations, just as our ancestors did for us.“Overtime people grew careless and one day, the Creator would come and take the song away.””

Manny Wood Lynes-Ford is an indigenous photographer from Gitxaala BC currently based in Toronto. He works primarily in analog photography with a range of mediums with everything from Cyanotypes to Chromogenic prints in the darkroom. Working with themes of Decolonization and the Indigenous experience, he draws inspiration from artists like Fred Herzog and Carl Beam.
