Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection
Revelations: An Evolution of Introspection recounts, photographically and poetically, the experiences of those who endured Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist and West Philadelphia native Clarence Williams survived being stranded on a rooftop for three days following the storm, and stayed in New Orleans for thirteen years afterwards to document recovery efforts. Donald E Camp, a Guggenheim Fellow and renowned Philadelphia-based photographer, has developed a series of faces using traces of the mud washed ashore during Katrina’s flooding, utilizing it as a richly textured earth pigment for his images. This exhibition will also feature Philadelphia poet and spoken word artist Ursula Rucker, who, in collaboration with Clarence Williams, wrote a series of poems conveying the experiences of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath.
