Aquí y Allá (Life For Impoverished Mexicans In The US And Mexico)

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 10:36:49 EDT

Extreme poverty in Mexico is forcing millions of people out of that country to seek work in the US. Immigration policies make it almost impossible for them to enter the US legally, so thousands enter illegally, undertaking a journey that is extremely dangerous and expensive. Once they enter the US, Mexicans overwhelmingly work in agriculture, planting, caring for and harvesting the food we eat. This exhibit contains photographs from rural Mexico and rural New York, showing what life is like for impoverished Mexicans on both sides of the border.

Art Exhibit: Aquí y Allá (Life For Impoverished Mexicans In The US And Mexico)

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 10:34:04 EDT

Joseph Sorrentino began documenting the lives of farm workers in western New York in 2002. The vast majority of farm workers in this area—and in the US—are from Mexico and it’s generally agreed that well over half of them are here illegally. After seeing the difficult conditions under which they live and work here, he decided to travel to remote villages in southern Mexico in 2003 to see first-hand the conditions that were driving them to make the dangerous journey across the border. His trip took him to the coffee-growing regions in the Sierra Juarez in Oaxaca and to Cuetzalan, Puebla where he found extreme poverty. He has since made three more trips to rural Mexico while continuing to document conditions for farm workers in New York. In his exhibits and presentations, he tries to show how Mexico’s agricultural policies and trade agreements with the US have increased poverty in rural Mexico, forcing people off their lands to search for work in the US. He also tries to show how necessary Mexican farm workers are to the US.

His articles and photographs have appeared in a number of publications including City Paper (Philadelphia), City Paper (Rochester, NY), Rochester Magazine, Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine, La Jornada del Campo (Mexico City) and Commonweal Magazine. He has had close to 40 solo photography exhibits, including several in Mexico. His photographs will appear in La Hora del Café, Dos Siglos de Café Mexicano, which will be published by Instituto Maya later this year.

Fisher Players Present: The Vagina Monologues

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:29:43 EST

The Vagina Monologues celebrate the global movement of V-Day, which strives to empower women to find their collective voices and demand an end to the violence.Each year V-Day increases awareness by focusing on a specific group of women in the world who are resisting violence with courage and vision.

In 2012, V-Day's Spotlight Campaign will be on the Women and Girls of Haiti. The Spotlight will highlight the high levels of violence against women and girls in Haiti, and will focus on the increased rates of sexual violence since the devastating earthquake that took place in January 2010. All funds raised through the Spotlight Campaign will be used to support a revolutionary national campaign in Haiti lead by a coalition of women activists - including longtime V-Day activist Elvire Eugene - that will address sexual violence through art, advocacy, safe shelter and legal services.

The proceeds of the V-Day 2012 will benefit the women and children of Haiti, as well as a local non-profit organization, Alternatives for Battered Women, whose mission supports survivors of violence and work toward the ending of violence against women and girls.

Tickets are $5.00 or $3.00 with the donation of toiletries to donate to Alternatives.
