For our International Student Coffee Hour on Dec 4th, we will be joining forces with students from the CAS Academic Achievement Program for a tour of the Grey Art Gallery.
Specifically, we will learn about the photography of Ernest Cole:
"One of South Africa’s first black photo-journalists—created powerful
photographs that revealed to the world what it meant to be black under
apartheid. With imaginative daring, courage, and compassion, Cole
portrayed the everyday lives of blacks as they negotiated apartheid’s
racist laws and oppression. Apartheid, which means “apartness” in
Afrikaans (the language of South Africa’s white minority of Dutch
descent), was an often brutally enforced legal policy that separated
people by race in all aspects of life, within a white supremacist
hierarchy of power."
Join us on the 9th floor of Silver at 4:30pm, for lite snacks and refreshments before heading to the gallery.
Thursday, December 4th
