Her Words As Witness:  Women Writers of the African Diaspora

Opening Reception:  Thursday, December 1, 2011, 6-8pm, Skylight Gallery, Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Plaza, Brooklyn, NY, USA.

The exhibit will feature 35 photographic portraits by Brooklyn-based photographer, Laylah Amatullah Barrayn, of some of today’s most compelling writers, along with excerpts from their works.  Those featured, include award-winning Haitian novelist and essayist, Edwidge Danticat (as one of her publications is shown here); who the New York Times credits with increasing America’s understanding of the Haitian immigrant.  The exhibition will promote a personal and community dialogue about the artists, race, sexism, literature, love and other issues.  For more information, call (718) 636-6949.
