Reception for Bridging the Gap

www.cnr.edu:

Bridging the Gap: Photography by Gordon Parks and Toni Parks brings together the work of one of the twentieth century's most acclaimed photographers, Gordon Parks, and his daughter/fellow photographer Toni Parks.  Not only a photographer, Gordon Parks was an activist, writer and filmmaker, as well as one of the first African Americans to work for magazine and create a Hollywood film; he also co-founded LifeEssence magazine.  Toni Parks is an active photographer living in the U.K. and member of Kamoinge, a New York-based group of African-American photographers established in 1963.  Featuring photographs from The College of New Rochelle's own collection, this show will touch on issues of that both Gordon and Toni Parks address in their black and white, and color prints, which collectively span nearly 50 years.

This exhibit will be open through Feb. 20 2011
