EXHIBITS:::

Women, Water and Wells: Photographs of West Africa by Gil Garcetti
In 2001, photographer Gil Garcetti traveled to West Africa for the first of what would be several visits to the continent. Enthralled by the land and the people, Garcetti became deeply committed to raising awareness of and funds for safe water in the region. Thus was born Women, Water and Wells, a selection of sixty-two striking photographs from his forthcoming book, Water is Key (Balcony Press). Garcetti's rich black-and-white photographs reveal the link between water and human health in West Africa, as well as the dramatic economic and public welfare successes that can be achieved when safe water is delivered to villages. Women, Water, and Wells captures the challenges, successes, and hopes of people—particularly women—who are faced with the daily task of providing safe water for their families and communities. The exhibition begins with several landscapes from Niger, Ghana, Mali, and Burkina Faso, and then chronicles the important work of non-governmental organizations in the struggle to provide healthy drinking water and to eradicate a variety of diseases linked to unsafe water. Later sections show the beauty and joy of locating safe water sources, and the numerous ways that safe water benefits peoples' lives through sanitation and health, education, economics, and agriculture.
The proceeds benefit the Water In West Africa campaign, with 100% of all proceeds going directly to on-the-ground organizations working to provide water to those most in need in West Africa. The campaign is coordinated by the Pacific Institute. Free

Guatemalan Forced Migration: Photos by Manuel Gil

Guatemalan Forced Migration consists of a series of photographs of Guatemalan forced migrants that challenge the normative approach to photographing refugees by mainstream media and international humanitarian organizations that stereotype women as domestics and men as bread winners. Manuel Gil's photography, created in collaboration with writer Oscar Gil-Garcia, explores gender relations within contemporary society and transnational migrant communities. The project is a timely study that provides a critical response to the current U.S. anti-immigrant sentiment by increasing awareness of how forced migrants play a central role in the formal and informal labor economic sectors in host societies.

Incognegro: New Works by Mark Steven Greenfield

"Incognegro" includes multimedia photographs, paintings, and sculptures that appropriate and represent historic minstrel images and critiques race issues that are apparent through blackface performance. The show features 14 new works by Greenfield made over the past four years that have not been previously exhibited in Los Angeles that flirt with the line between racism and political correctness. The exhibition includes lenticular prints juxtaposing minstrel portraits, paintings featuring iconic accoutrements from vintage minstrel "how to" guides, photo portraits of contemporary blackface performers, and a series of motorized outdoor sculptures that literally inflate the artist's distinctive forms of provocation.

Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas

Emory Douglas was the Minister of Culture for the Black Panther party from 1976-1980, creating iconic imagery and documenting a revolution. 'Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas' traces the searing graphic art made by Emory Douglas (b. 1943) while he worked as Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party from 1967 until its discontinuation in the early 1980s. The Black Panthers cultivated a strong graphic identity for their group and their politics during this period, bringing their concerns to the public through newspapers, poster and pamphlets that can often be described as angry, militant and incendiary.
