In The World But Not Of It offers a look inside Hutterite colonies
MHC Gallery invites visitors to look inside the often-misunderstood and cloistered world of Hutterite colonies with a new exhibition by Brandon-photographer Tim Smith.
In The World But Not Of It is a collection of photographs created over the 13 years that Smith has spent developing relationships with Hutterite colonies across Manitoba. In a modern western world faced with increasing levels of isolation and loneliness, Hutterite community life offers a different perspective. In fact, Smith says that the importance given to engagement in family life, social life and spirituality, as well as the defined purpose for their lives, means that Hutterite communities meet many of the requirements to be considered Blue Zones—areas where health, happiness, and life expectancy rates are higher than average.
