Bertha M. Roddey Center for Art, Research, and Education in Catawba, SC, Features Works by Jerry Taliaferro
Photographer Jerry Taliaferro will open his
project, Women Of A New Tribe, at the new Bertha M. Roddey
Center for Art, Research, and Education in Catawba, SC, on Oct.
2, 2002. The exhibit has just ended a very successful run at the
Afro-American Center in Charlotte, NC, where it was embraced by
an awestruck community. The exhibit which will run through Dec.
6, 2002, is a photographic celebration of the black American women
we see around everyday.
The show will feature approximately 40 black and white images
reminiscent of the classic glamour photographic style of 1930's
and 1940's Hollywood. Included in this exhibit will be the images
of a number of women from the Catawba, area who have made contributions
to their respective communities. This study of African American
women whose physical traits vary so widely is also an examination
of how we define beauty.
The meticulous and dramatic lighting used in the making of these images lays bare for the viewer the very essence of the beauty of the subjects. The 'Women Of A New Tribe project is more than a celebration of black American beauty, it is a celebration of the beauty that God gives all women.
