Opening Reception for Eric Greitens: Strength and Compassion
First Friday in Grand Center
November 7th, 2014, 11 a.m. - 9 p.m.
Strength and Compassion brings together the best of Eric Greitens’ work with a striking series of the photographer’s reflections on the situations illustrated. Engaging photographs from Rwanda, Cambodia, Albania, Mexico, India, the Gaza Strip, Croatia, and Bolivia, are combined in this exhibition.
Though the photographs were taken in different countries and amid different struggles, a common theme emerges: even in times of great hardship and in the face of great evil, people with strength and compassion can live with courage. We see the unmistakable, sometimes irreparable consequences of violence and war, yet we also see the unmistakable, always inspiring power of men, women, and children who live through these trials with dignity and emerge with hope.
