Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History in Chapel Hill, NC, Features Works by Wendy Phillips
Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History in Chapel Hill, NC, is presenting the exhibit, Fleeting Memory, Enduring Legacy: The People of La Costa Chica, Oaxaca, Mexico, featuring works by Dr. Wendy Phillips, on view through Mar. 13, 2006, in the center's Robert and Sallie Brown Gallery and Museum and Hitchcock Multipurpose Room.
The exhibit features photographs by Phillips, an independent researcher, visual artist and documentary photographer whose work has been shown in galleries and museums in the United States and abroad. Black-and-white photographs highlight the African-descended community in La Costa Chica, in the Oaxaca state of Mexico.
Sometimes referred to as "Afro-Mexicanos," residents of this area have endured for more than 200 years. The exhibit is cosponsored by the African American/Latino Alliance, a North Carolina organization of workers, students and community members, UNC's Institute for Latin American Studies and Friends of the Brown Gallery and Museum.
Founded in 1988, the center works to broaden the range of intellectual discourse about African Diaspora cultures. Center events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted. Spanish translation is available upon request.
