but meanwhile
April 4 – May 9, 2008
MI PUEBLO: THE POZOS CHILDREN’S PROJECT
Over 70 photographs taken by the children of Mineral de Pozos, Guanajuato, Mexico, are on exhibit in an artistic and educational outreach project organized and directed by Geoff Winningham and sponsored by The Jung Center in Houston, Texas. Winningham, his wife Janice Freeman, and eight Rice University students traveled to Pozos to teach local children basic photography and darkroom skills. The children were mostly between 9 and 14 years old and were given plastic Holga cameras to photograph their surroundings. The exhibit opened in Houston as part of the Fotofest celebration at the The Jung Center in March and The Wittliff Collections is the first stop on their traveling tour. Opening reception April 12 will include a talk by Geoff Winningham.
