People in Calgary-funded art say their photos were used without consent
CALGARY — A comedian from the United Kingdom says photos of her and her colleagues were used without their knowledge in artwork funded by the city of Calgary.
A series of giant photographs called “Snapshots” was installed along an underpass in the city’s southwest in 2015 at a cost of $20,000.
The city has a photo of the installation on its website.
Comedian Bisha Ali posted on social media that she’s upset because neither she nor any of the other subjects gave their consent to the artist for their photos to be used.
