With photographs from James Rodriguez and Paul Lemieux, Gold, Dust and Power brings to life the struggle taking place in the highlands of Guatemala between a Canadian mining company and an indigenous movement determined to defend its natural resources.

The show runs from April 7th-18th at Fem International, 6050 Saint-Hubert, with a vernissage on April 7th. The vernissage includes a panel at 6pm with speakers Ernie Schibli, with over 30 years experience working with human rights defenders in Central America; and Annie Pelletier, a former rights accompanier working directly with indigenous mining activists in Guatemala.
