SUMMARY:Mt. Sterling: Gateway to the Heart exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Warm up your cold days by planning a visit to an exhibition of photographs and video short stories that will warm your heart and allow you a few moments to slow down and take in the some of the simpler things in life. Mt. Sterling and surrounding Montgomery County sit nestled between Kentucky’s bluegrass meadows and Appalachian mountains. A lovely town surrounded by rolling farmland\, it is a place where people value their rich history and strive for a brighter future. With helping hands\, a welcoming heart and a strong sense of identity\, Mt. Sterling is the kind of place that feels like home. \nDuring one week in October of 2018\, a small army of visual journalists from across the country and around the globe descended on this community just outside of Lexington and documented her people and this place situated at the gateway to Eastern Kentucky. For more information about this event\, visit the Mountain Workshops web site. \nThe exhibition is located on the campus of Western Kentucky University in Jody Richards Hall and is open Monday – Friday 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. except for when the school is closed. \nThis exhibition is sponsored by The School of Journalism & Broadcasting’s Photojournalism department and Canon\, USA Imageprograf.

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.

SUMMARY:Visión Mundial
DESCRIPTION:The School of Journalism & Broadcasting is proud to present Visión Mundial: Latin America’s Best Photojournalists\, a collection of 61 images taken by some of the leading photojournalists of Latin America. These riveting images from Latin America as well as around the globe represent a partial collection of the Pictures of The Year LATAM 2015 where a jury selects the best images from Latin American photojournalists. The 2015 San Miguel de Allende contest attracted more than 1\,400 photojournalists to enter and close to 35\,000 images and 168 multimedia stories were submitted. \nPOY Latam was created by Pablo Corral Vega and Loup Langton (Director of SJ&B) in 2011 to promote and celebrate excellence in documentary and artistic photography in Ibero-America and has become the largest and most prestigious contest of its kind. \nThe POY Latam contest takes place every two years.  The first one was judged in 2011 in Quito\, Ecuador.  In 2013 the jury met in Fortaleza\, Brazil\, and in 2015 the judging took place in San Miguel de Allende\, Mexico.  The judging is open to the public and webcast live.  A blog in Spanish\, Portuguese and English engages audiences in worldwide conversations throughout the week of judging.  Juries have included such international luminaries as Mary Ellen Mark\, Gary Knight\, Tomás Munita\, Cristina García Rodero\, Pascal Maitre and Magdalena Herrera. \nThe not-for-profit contest has no entry fee to ensure that no talent is excluded based on an economic burden.  It’s supported by a wide-range of sponsors from across the Americas.  \nThe exhibition will be on display until May 6 in Mass Media and Technology Hall Gallery. \nSunday  3:00pm – 9:00pm \nMonday – Wednesday 9:00am – 9:00 pm \nThursday – Friday 9:00am – 5:00pm \nParking is free in the Chestnut St. Lot after 4:30 each day and all day on Sunday in the Mimosa Parking Lot directly across the street from MMTH.

SUMMARY:Frankfort   |   The Land Between
DESCRIPTION:The School of Journalism and Broadcasting’s photojournalism department is pleased to announce the opening of Frankfort  |   The Land Between. This gallery exhibition of 37 prints and 22 video stories\, collected form the more than 40\,000 images and hundreds of hours of video\, is the result of WKU Photojournalism’s annual Mountain Workshops. For one week in late October\, 2015\, more than 140 professional and student visual journalists from across the country gathered in Frankfort to teach one another and improve their skills as visual storytellers. \nHere we see the glorious dome of political power\, and enjoy the beauty of the river called Kentucky. Here we hike the hills and rocky bluffs that tower over it. But mostly\, here is where we find the story of a place we know: home. Here we document the lives of our neighbors. Not the rich and famous who control our government and culture\, but the worker bees who keep Kentucky buzzing: schoolteachers and kids\, hairdressers and dressmakers\, storekeepers and shoppers\, farmers and truck drivers\, moms and dads. \nThis is their story. It’s what the Mountain Workshops are all about. \nFrankfort  |  The Land Between \nMMTH Gallery \nSunday: 3:00 – 9:00 pm \nMonday – Wednesday: 9:00 am – 9:00 pm \nThursday – Friday: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm \nOn display until March 18
