The Trouble with the Alphabet: Reception tonight
We met artist and author Caryn West at the Walk for Sudan. Caryn is exhibiting artwork from her book The Trouble with the Alphabet: Through the Eyes of Innocence at Ditto Gallery from October 24th to December 19th.
The Trouble with the Alphabet examines the Human Rights of Children by highlighting the vulnerability of children in 26 countries - one for each letter of the alphabet.
From the project's website:
"It invites the reader to consider these issues through vibrant portraits illustrating the emotion and vulnerability of each child. It challenges indifference and apathy through poetic messages delivered as if through a child’s eyes; messages that cut through the rhetoric and pierce the heart and soul. It clarifies the issues through short essays that enlighten even the informed. Finally, it involved experts, organizations that provide answers, strategies and at the very least a platform to become a giver, a doer… an activist."
The exhibit at Ditto Gallery opens tonight with a reception from 5-9pm.
