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.

Complete with invented scholars debating each other's theses and extensive details as to the engineering of the instrument, the story, originally titled The Lower Registers, served as the impetus for writing his debut novel In the City of Pigs, published by Dundurn Press in the summer of 2022.
