Through Orphaned Eyes: Artwork by Children of Malawi
September 24 – November 19
Opening reception, Saturday, September 23, 7–9 p.m.
Joyce Kohl and P.J. Johnson traveled to the African country of Malawi in connection with the Global AIDS Interfaith Alliance (GAIA), an organization dedicated to helping address the AIDS crisis. During their visit, they worked with children, teaching them to create ceramics and photographs. These works were created by these children to convey how AIDS affects their community as well as images of Malawian life. The exhibition also includes video documentation by the two artists. Organized by Joyce Kohl and P.J. Johnson.
