“Mi Vida en Guasmo (My Life in Guasmo),” features photographs by ten students in Guasmo Sur, a barrio south of the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. In August 2007, Erin Dunigan, a Princeton Seminary graduate, led a photography class for ten students from Guasmo Sur. Part of a project called Photopiece, developed by Erica Smith Thompson, alos a Seminary graduate, the class consisted of five days of intensive study in which the children were challenged to develop their “visual vocabulary,” in order to express themselves and their world through photography. Their work was exhibited on the soccer field in the center of town for the benefit of the community. The photographs displayed in this exhibit are a selection from each of the student’s work.

The class was part of a larger community project led by Thompson. This year marks the ninth anniversary that she has led a team of North Americans to Guasmo Sur to live with Ecuadorian families and work together in projects that better the community.

Photography Exhibit: “But Now I See: Photographic Reflections on the Conversion of Paul”
2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., daily
Student Government Room, Mackay Campus Center, Second Floor
Free and open to the public

“But Now I See: Photographic Reflections on the Conversion of Paul,” featuring photographs by students, student spouses, and alumni/ae who have served as Seminary photographers on the Communications Office staff, will be on display in the Student Government Room through Friday, May 23.

Long ago photography matured beyond its initial, limited function as a visual record of people and events, and became an art form in its own right. That is what makes it possible for photographs to illumniate an historic event that took place almost 2000 years before photography was invented. This exhibition aims to reveal how photography’s distinctive artistic strengths can significantly enrich human understanding.
