PAST EXHIBITION
Women of a New Tribe
June 1, 2008—July 6, 2008
Women of a New Tribe is a striking photography exhibition honoring African-American women, their strength, beauty, and their role in American culture. In 2004, sixteen women from Knoxville and the surrounding area were selected from community nominations and photographed by artist Jerry Taliaferro to join the Women of a New Tribe. This exhibition organized by the Literacy Imperative features fourteen of these portraits. The Literacy Imperative is not just a place for books, but also includes visual literacy. In addition to promoting literacy for underserved communities, they also promote seeing the world from different perspectives so that all may appreciate it in a new way.
