Masters of the Craft: Gallery of Memory
January 24th - March 22nd, Reception Feb. 6th 5pm - 7pm
Masters of the Craft: Gallery of Memory is a photography exhibit commemorating the 80th anniversary of the founding of Local 1329 of the International Longshoremen's Association (I.L.A.) in Providence, the first labor union in New England organized predominantly by Cape Verdeans. Members of Local 1329 longshoremen, their families and descendants are featured in these formal portraits photographed by Liane Brandon.
This exhibit and the upcoming documentary "Working the Boats" by Claire Andrade-Watkins are under the umbrella of the Fox Point Cape Verdean Project, a multi-faceted initiative spearheaded by Cape Verdeans to preserve the history and memory of the Fox Point Cape Verdean community. The reception and exhibit is sponsored in part by Brown University's Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America (CSREA).
