SUMMARY:Bosnia and Herzegovina: Then and Now Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The School of Journalism & Broadcasting is excited to announce the opening of a photographic exhibition AND a documentary film screening. \n  \nWEDNESDAY\, JANUARY 31\nJody Richards Hall (MMTH) \n1666 Normal Dr. \nWestern Kentucky University \nBowling Green\, KY \nDIRECTIONS \n  \nGALLERY EXHIBITION OPENING RECEPTION\nJody Richards Hall (MMTH) Atrium: 6:00 pm \nLight refreshments will be served \n  \nBosnia and Herzegovina: Then and Now \nA Visual Exploration of a Country in Change \nOver 50 photographs by Lara Ciarabellini\, Amel Emric\, James H. Kenney\, Jr.\, Jose Lopez\, Matt Lutton\, Dijana Muminovic\, Roger M. Richards and Andy Spyra will be on display January 31 – April 13 exploring the people and places of Bosnia and Herzegovina since the start of the war in 1992 until today.  \n\nDOCUMENTARY SCREENING\nJody Richards Hall Auditorium: 7:30 pm \nSarajevo Roses: A Cinematic Essay \nDirected by Roger M. Richards \nThe film’s director Roger M. Richards\, an award-winning filmmaker and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominated photojournalist who was in Sarajevo at the height of the conflict and has witnessed and filmed its restoration on numerous returns––and who is thus uniquely positioned to share the tragedy’s impact on a great people and a very special place\, will lead a post-film discussion.  \nThe documentary screening\, presented by WKU’s International Year Of program\, is a WKU “swipable” event\, free and open to the public. No parking pass is required after 4:30 pm at the Chestnut Street lot just three blocks from JRH. DIRECTIONS \nFor more information\, please contact Tim Broekema at tim.broekema@wku.edu \n\nABOUT THE FILM\nWhat happens when a modern society implodes? \nImagine waking up to find society collapsed: stores shuttered\, electricity and water shut off\, no food or medicine\, neighbors become enemies and fighting in the streets. \nThat’s what happened in the city of Sarajevo\, only eight years after hosting the 1984 Winter Olympic games. \nThese are stories of Sarajevo: a surgeon turned psychiatrist to understand and heal his PTSD; a tuxedo-clad cellist playing for the dead at massacre sites; a young woman immortalized in a photograph as she flees a sniper’s bullet; and children struggling to survive in an or \nphanage near the frontline. \nWhen Josip Broz\, aka Tito\, the benevolent dictator of the federation of Yugoslavia\, died on May 4\, 1980\, nobody had an inkling of the bloodshed and ruin to come.  In early 1992\, a referendum on independence took Bosnia down the path to war. \nDuring the four-year siege of the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo\, the longest of the 20th century\, hundreds of thousands of artillery\, mortar and tank shells were fired into the city from the surrounding hills.  As each exploded\, it left a crater in concrete resembling a flower.  Citizens stoically painted these “pavement petals” red and called them “Sarajevoroses.”  Some remain today\, fading reminders of innocent blood that was spilled on these streets\, in this once all-embracing city.  The Sarajevo “rose” represents the impact of the war on the lives of these individuals and all citizens of Sarajevo. \nAt its heart\, “Sarajevo Roses” is a meditation on the search for inner peace and recovery after experiencing PTSD from the horrors of war; how the neighbor next door is capable of committing the most inhuman acts; and personal testimony that love\, and living fully in the present\, are the best we can hope for as human beings.  Important lessons for a troubled world. \n  \n \n  \nABOUT THE GALLERY EXHIBITION\nOn display January 31 – April 13 \nGallery Hours \nSunday  |  4:00PM – 9:00PM \nMonday – Thursday  |  9:00AM – 9:00 PM \nFriday  |  9:00AM – 5:00PM \nClosed when WKU is not in session \n  \nABOUT THE PHOTOJOURNALISTS\nLara Ciarabellini \nLara Ciarabellini is an Italian photographer currently shooting between Trieste (Italy)\, Sarajevo and Rio de Janeiro. She received a Master degree in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography\, at London College of Communication\, University of Arts\, in 2012. Her research “A visual comparison of Yugoslavian National Liberation War Movies” will be part of the Research Centre NAM at LCC. Ciarabellini’s work titled Bosnia: If chaos awakens the madness was a finalist in The Aftermath Project 2011 and work of hers has been exhibited at Nursery Gallery – London\, at Savignano OFF Festival 2013\, at AFFGallery – Berlin\, at Officine Fotografiche – Rome\, at National Scientific Library – Tbilisi\, and at The Library Project – Dublin\, Galerija Hran – Sarajevo\, Fodar Biennal – Pleven.Cariocas in Olympia has been exhibited at Kaunas Festival in Lithuania. \nAmel Emric \nPhotographer Amel Emric provides a uniquely intimate view into the lives of refugees fleeing ethnic cleansing in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Emric’s photographs from during the campaign of ethnic cleansing from 1992-1995\, when refugees were fleeing for their lives\, finding themselves in the most desperate situations with what few possessions they had saved\, are powerful reminders that give a very intimate insight into the lives of those caught up in the horrific events leading up to the worst atrocity on European soil since World War Two. \nJames H. Kenney\, Jr. \nProfessor James H. Kenney received his bachelor’s degree from California State University\, Fresno\, and his master’s degree from Syracuse University.

SUMMARY:Living On A Dollar A Day Gallery Reception and Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Living On A Dollar A Day: The lives and faces of the world’s poor.\nBy Renée C Byer \nAn interactive photographic exhibit that inspires people to create change with compassion\, education and action.\nThursday\, February 16 \nOpening Reception: 6:00PM MMTH Atrium \nArtist Lecture: 7:30PM MMTH Auditorium \n  \nMMTH Gallery and Atrium \nFebruary 16 – April 28 \n  \nSunday  |  3:00PM – 9:00PM \nMonday – Thursday  |  9:00AM – 9:00 PM \nFriday  |  9:00AM – 5:00PM \n  \nABOUT\nLiving On A Dollar A Day: The Lives and Faces of the World’s Poor\, is a powerful and extraordinary series of photographs and profiles by Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Renée C. Byer\, whose work illuminates the human faces of people who live in extreme poverty around the world. Traveling to 10 countries on four continents\, Byer sought out individuals and families on the brink of survival – living on about one U.S. dollar each day. \n  \nThe people in Byer’s compelling profiles share their hardships\, their joys\, and their dreams for the future with her. Often with little hope of changing their own destiny\, they dream of something better for their children. In her searing and tender images\, accompanied by stories shared by people whose trust she gained\, Byer gives voice to those who would not otherwise be heard. \n  \nBRING YOUR MOBILE DEVICE\nThrough her collaboration with A Fourth Act\, Renée aims to reinvent how we experience photo exhibitions by bridging the power of stories that build awareness and turn compassion and empathy into social action. By using an innovative mobile web app\, youbridge.it\, along with Renée’s photos\, the interactive photo exhibit can engage visitors to participate in an interactive and powerful experience that goes beyond raising awareness. \n  \nAs they walk through the gallery\, youbridge.it offers the photo exhibit visitors an opportunity to dive deeper into the issues behind the stories and makes tangible actions available at their fingertips. Byer’s photos are an emotional invitation to learn about the roots causes of extreme poverty and hunger\, and to take simple but concrete actions in 10 areas of social issues. A strong believer that positive change can happen; she encourages us to be part of it by shifting the language from problem-focused to a solution-oriented one. \n  \nTESTIMONY\n“This photography is inspirational\, and the reason I gave the money to the United Nations and to poverty fighting programs is [that] I’ve been all over the world and I’ve seen the hunger first hand. And it’s not a pretty sight\, and it makes you want to do something about it.” \n— Ted Turner\, on receiving the 2014 James C. Morgan Humanitarian Award \n  \nABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER\nRenée C. Byer is an award-winning American documentary photojournalist best known for her in-depth work focusing on the disadvantaged and those who otherwise would not be heard. Her ability to produce photographs with profound emotional resonance and sensitivity earned her the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography in 2007 and dozens of national and international honors\, including the World Understanding Award from Pictures of the Year International\, and Pulitzer Finalist in 2013. Byer’s internationally acclaimed book\, Living on a Dollar a Day: The Lives and Faces of the World’s Poor\, illuminates the stories of people living on the brink of survival\, and invites you to put an end to extreme poverty. \n  \nAn inspiring teacher and speaker\, Byer stirs audiences to see how unbiased photojournalism can raise awareness and affect change. Her compelling TEDx Tokyo talk\, “The Storytelling Power of Photography\,” received a standing ovation and can be viewed online. Valued for her critical insight\, she has served for eight years as a judge for the prestigious Days Japan International Photojournalism Awards.
