Posted: Thursday, March 8, 2012Butler Library Exhibit 'Buffalo: Through Their Eyes'
The continuing story of our community’s twenty-first-century growing refugee population is presented in a special photographic exhibition, Buffalo: Through Their Eyes, on view in E. H. Butler Library through March.
For centuries, people from around the world seeking asylum have made Western New York their home. Graduate students in MST 660: Museums and Society have installed this traveling exhibition of 15 photographs taken by members of Buffalo’s refugee community. The photographs document their experiences, choices, and accomplishments while adjusting to life in Western New York and present intimate moments with family, at school, and at work. The exhibit represents people from Bhutan, Thailand, Burma, and the Republic of the Congo.
The photographs are on display on the library mezzanine (second level). The exhibition is presented by the Buffalo State museum studies program in cooperation with the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, Journey's End Refugee Services, and CEPA Gallery.
