Delta Fine Arts, Inc. in Winston-Salem, NC, Offers Photographic Exhibition

Delta Fine Arts, Inc. in Winston-Salem, NC, is partnering with the Maya Angelou Research Center on Minority Health to present a photographic exhibition, Voices of African-American Health, on view through Dec. 22, 2006.

The exhibit is a photojournalism project in which 24 African-Americans in Winston-Salem and surrounding areas were provided journals and disposable cameras and allowed one month to document their experiences with illness or taking care of others who suffer from disease. A range of health conditions is represented in the exhibit, including hypertension, diabetes, cancer, mental illness and infant mortality. While the exhibit focuses mostly on photography, excerpts from participants' journals are also included.

Participants were trained in basic techniques of photography and journaling by photographer Michael Cunningham and author and psychoanalyst Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., a member of the Angelou Research Center national advisory board. Local writer Vickie Bovender led writing sessions to aid participants with their journaling process. This project was made possible by a $12,000 grant from the Society of the Arts in Healthcare, in conjunction with Johnson-Johnson.

For further information check our NC Institutional Gallery listings or call the Center at 336/722-2625.
