Opening Reception
June 11, 2009
5:30 – 8:00 pm

International photographer Jessica Scranton shoots for magazines,  designers, public health and non-governmental organizations. This exhibit features her photographs taken in  Sudan focused on the children at Akon School of Girls, a school established with the help of My Sister’s Keeper, a non-profit organization in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Scranton describes her “amazing” journey to Sudan, which is reflected in her photographs that invite us into the real lives of Sudanese girls.  Sudanese children face severe obstacles just to attend school, however, they are also like any other ordinary children who know how to laugh and have fun. Through her photographs, she shares  “A positive and human light on people living in Sudan.”
