Art exhibition shines a âLens on Black lifeâ
Papillon & Company will host a Kamoinge Workshop exhibition, âFrom Harlem to Metuchen: Lens on Black Life.â
The members of this African American photographers collective will be sharing their experiences, conducting a photography workshop and exhibiting their work May 8 through June 30 in Papillonâs Metuchen store, located at 418 Main St.
âArt can build bridges and bring people together,â Edna Epelu, owner of Papillon & Company, said in a prepared statement. âI am delighted to bring the work of the Kamoinge Workshop to Metuchen.â
Kamoinge means âworking togetherâ in the language of the Kikuyu people of Kenya. The Kamoinge Workshop was established in New York City in 1963 and, since then, has been credited with changing the narrative of Black lives in the mainstream media, according to the statement.
