Witnesses+to+Hunger

The [|Philadelphia GROW Projec]t & [|Drexel University School of Public Health] will open [|****Witnesses to Hunger,****] an exhibit featuring the photographs of Philadelphia women who are working to create better lives for their children in North Philadelphia, with a preview on Thursday, December 11th at 6:30pm at the Bassone Center at Drexel University, 3128 Market Street in Philadelphia. The exhibit has been organized by Mariana Chilton, an anthropologist at Drexel, who gave forty digital cameras to forty women and asked them to illustrate their crushing circumstances to policy makers - the daily hurt of hunger and the myriad ways that society fails poor children. The women were paid up to $125 for their work and were able to keep the cameras. The women will discuss their work at the preview beginning at 7:15pm. The event is free and open to the public. The exhibit, which is supported by the Claneil Foundation, will be on display daily from 9am-5pm through December 19th. For more information, call 215-762-1945.
