The world record-breaking I AM EQUAL photo tour is coming to CALGARY thanks to the support of our host and event partner, THE WESTIN CALGARY and the Starwood Hotel Group.
Now you and your family can make history and shine a light on the HUMAN RIGHTS, CIVIL LIBERTIES, & EQUALITY issues you support through this historic project. Your ‘I AM EQUAL’ photo will come to represent your passion and commitment to make the world a better place.
You’ll jump in front of the camera of internationally acclaimed fashion photographer Matt Spencer when he stops in Calgary, AB. as he collects more than 100,000 photos to create the world’s largest photo mosaic and essay dedicated to human rights.
Some people come and dedicate their photo to women’s rights and ending domestic violence; others come to celebrate their strength as a survivor of abuse. Some people use their picture to shine a light on environmental concerns or to claim their right to a pollution-free future & sustainable farming. There are some who come in support of marriage equality and LGBT rights; and others who are stepping up for religious freedoms. Every cause is valuable, and we celebrate them all…and EVERY photo will be part of the RECORD-BREAKING ‘I AM EQUAL’ photo campaign.
