OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, January 14, 6:00 - 8:00pm "Forever Young: A Portrait of the Black Child" is an exhibit combining photographs of and poetry about the Black child. The project includes over 80 black and white images of children of color from the United States, Ghana, and Cuba combined with compelling verse. Through these photographs and words, Washington, D.C. photographer Nestor Hernandez and poet Laini Mataka have assembled a powerful celebration to the beauty, innocence and joy of the Black child. The exhibit shows children at play and at work and otherwise interacting with their own environments, and while some are unaware of the camera’s presence, others are ready to have their images captured forever, Forever Young.

| The June photography show "Inside Cuba: A Photographic Journey",in Washington, D.C. was a major success. I received such amazing responses from the show thatI now hope to take it on the road. I'm looking for gallery and art spaces interested in showing the works. Must be able to handle exhibit of 90 16X20 framed prints. -- Nestor Hernandez, http://www.blackpearlphoto.com |
The Center for Collaborative Art and Visual Education in Washington, D.C.
presents "INSIDE CUBA: A Photographic Journey", an exhibit of over 90
photographs by Nestor Hernandez. Mr. Hernandez is a Washington based photographer of
Afro-Cuban descent. This exhibit draws from images taken on eight trips to Cuba since
1978. His work documents the cultural rhythms of the Cuban people, the grandeur of its
architecture, and the events that shape this Caribbean nation known as the "Pearl of
the Antilles". Wonderfully intimate, lyrical, and - perhaps most of all - suffused
with a sense of timelessness, Mr. Hernandez's work connects the viewer with the spirit of
Cuba.
