Women by Women: A Juried Exhibition of WPOW members
EXHIBITION OPENING SEPT 25 from 6:30 - 8:30 PM
The women of the Women Photojournalists of Washington craft a visual
journey through the lives of women and girls around the world. From
the desperation of an emergency room in Haiti, to an ordered classroom
in China; from the bubble gum pink of a girls bathroom during a middle
school dance, to a whitewashed detention center on Mexico’s border–
moments of beauty, humor and darkness present themselves in their
rawest form.
