The PA Diversity Network Photo Project January 16 – February 6, 2007
The Martin Art Gallery at Muhlenberg College proudly hosts The PA Diversity Network (PDN) Photo Project-- 100 Same-Sex Couples: Facing Inequality, January 16 through February 6, 2007 in the Galleria of the Baker Center for the Arts.Wednesday, December 13, 2006 01:59 PM
The exhibition is held in collaboration with the College’s Gay Straight Alliance.
PDN coordinator and photographer, Liz Bradbury, began the project in February 2006. Since then Bradbury, who holds both undergraduate and graduate fine arts degrees, has taken more than 100 photos of local same-sex couples to illustrate to the greater Lehigh Valley community that many committed long-term, same- sex couples are living here. She states, “In every venue we’ve exhibited these photos, viewers have recognized people they know and learned how these friends, neighbors, and colleagues have to endure the lack of civil rights that the rest of the population takes for granted.” Adrian Shanker, member of Muhlenberg’s Gay Straight Alliance adds, "The Muhlenberg GSA is proud to support this exhibit. The more people who are able to put a physical face to the politics of a loving, committed, gay relationship, the less power homophobia will have in limiting the rights of gay partners."
A reception will be held Tuesday, February 6, 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. in the Galleria area of the Baker Center for the Arts. The event is free and open to the public. Galleria hours are daily, 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.; closed during semester breaksand holidays.
