 Exhibit Organizer: Jerry Taliaferro Photography  Description: WOMEN OF A NEW TRIBE is a photographic study of the physical and spiritual beauty of the Black American women we see around us every day. The women portrayed represent the black woman in many of her physical and social manifestations. The subjects are from all walks of life and include the young and the old, mothers and daughters, artists and professionals. What is unique about WOMEN OF A NEW TRIBE is its treatment of the subjects. The women were meticulously photographed in a style reminiscence of the photography of 1930’s and 1940’s Hollywood. The purpose for doing this is twofold. First to use the drama produced by the powerful lighting to grab and hold the attention of the viewer and then to use the starkness of black and white images to present the viewer an unencumbered glance at the souls of this incredibly diverse group of women. Rarely have black women been portrayed in such soul touching way. This project has been called “powerful” and “uplifting.” Neil A. Barclay, President & CEO of the African American Cultural Center of Greater Pittsburgh wrote, “When I first encountered Jerry Taliaferro’s acclaimed traveling exhibition of black and white photographs, “Women of a New Tribe,” I was immediately impressed with his ability to tell a story. Using the synergy of portraiture and symbolism, he has found a way to tell the story of both a woman and a people.” Contents: 60 framed images Available: Please contact Jerry Taliaferro for booking dates Size (linear feet): 150 – 200 Security Level: Low Rental Fee: $5,000 Type of Exhibition: Photography; Fine Art To schedule, please contact: Jerry Taliaferro Phone / Fax: 704-372-2772 newtribe8@cs.com Website: http://www.blackartphotoart.com/332NDFGProject.htm |
