ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Nuestras Abuelas: Su esperanza, nuestra fortaleza
Their Hope, Our Strength
Nuestras Abuelas/Our Grandmothers is an educational-historical exhibition that celebrates the legacy of powerful female figures in the lives of contemporary women leaders in the Latino communities in the region. Most of the photos in the exhibition have been published by La Prensa del oeste de Massachusetts as part of the popular series Nuestras Abuelas that started in December 2007 and continues through December 2008.
These photos have been published accompanied with creative texts written by Latina community leaders talking about the memories and most influential legacy of their grandmothers in their life.
The photographs will be on view at the Central Gallery at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst, Sept. 25 through Oct. 25, 2008. Then, in November, a complete exhibit will be on display at the Holyoke Library.
