Exhibition Talk: ‘Ferguson Voices: Disrupting the Frame’

Denison University welcomes staff and students from the University of Dayton for a panel discussion about “Ferguson Voices: Disrupting the Frame,” a traveling photo exhibit emerging from the University of Dayton’s Human Rights Center and PROOF: Media for Social Justice. “Ferguson Voices” is part of the Moral Courage Project, a team of UD students and program coordinators who conducted oral history research in Ferguson, Missouri in May 2016. “Ferguson Voices: Disrupting the Frame” features powerful portraits and compelling audio recordings of the events from people in the community. This exhibit is on view in the Library atrium from Feb. 5 to 23.

From the project description: “The exhibit provides critical texture to the story of Ferguson by focusing on profiles that fracture the dominant narrative. ‘Ferguson Voices’ highlights the contributions of average people who found the courage to stand up during moments of unrest.”

This exhibit is brought to you by the Department of Narrative Nonfiction Writing, Black Studies, Denison Library, and Denison Museum.
