I am hoping to be able to find the members of our group - because we did not get the last grant we applied for there has been a lapse in continuity. I still remember the meeting where I broke down and cried because we had no money to continue. Everyone came over, sang silly songs, gave me hugs. Made it better.
Except social inequity is not ok. We want people to see the work. We want understanding of these issues. We want change. So what's it about?
The images in the exhibit are selected from a vast number shot over a period of 8 months, in a community-based photography project where cameras were given to women and men who were experiencing insecure housing and homelessness, social exclusion, and poverty. This exhibition reveals photography as, and in, ethically transformative relationships where there is an opportunity to begin to promote empathic identification between the viewer and the one who is viewed.
