Cherokee folks: Be a part of this remarkable Cherokee street-wide initiative!
“INSIDE OUT: CELEBRATING CANCER SURVIVORSHIP”
An exhibit and Cherokee Street-wide event
Saturday April 26, 2014, 3-8 PM
at beverly & along Cherokee Street
Join us in celebrating cancer survivorship in this display of portraits of young St. Louis women under 45 who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Created in tandem with artist JR’s global initiative INSIDE OUT, this project has two components: an exhibition of the original small-scale color photographs at beverly, and a street-wide presentation of the large-scale black-and-white portraits in storefront windows and facades along the length of Cherokee Street.
This project was conceived of and made possible by Kim Selig (MSW, Young Women’s Breast Cancer Program in St. Louis and Washington University School of Medicine’s Siteman Cancer Center); as well as Mackenzie Ray (Cherokee resident, photographer, public health researcher); Anne McCullough (CSBA Liaison); and Sarah Colby (artist and Arts & Healthcare Coordinator at Barnes Jewish Hospital).
Please contact fort gondo at jessicabaran(at)gmail(dot)com if you would like to present a portrait on the window or facade of your Cherokee business or home!
Stay tuned for further updates!
