Reframing Islam: A Photographic Resolution

Reframing Islam: A Photographic Resolution

Local artists Brittany Hathaway and Erica Chick photograph exhibit is on display in the Reading Room until 10/20.

Artists' Statement:

My greatest hope for “Reframing Islam” is that audience members across all media platforms challenge their current understanding of the words “Muslim” and “Islam”; to ask questions, to relinquish fear of the unknown, and to develop acceptance. 

The intention is to replicate the dialog between two humans: face to face. By allowing audience members to fully engage with the series of intimate portraits of Muslim Americans, and their heartfelt personal statements to the world, the viewer is allowed and encouraged to suspend judgments and to listen without having to respond. 

This photographic resolution is about human rights as much as it is about American rights. It’s about nurturing compassion and decency with our audience members; so that we can all remember that the United States of America is a country that welcomes diversity and celebrates the many cultures of its people.
