_______________________________________Through photos taken by people often ignored or unseen, this exhibit showcases street photographers sharing a view of their lives and stories, using images to close the gap of unshared experiences. The March 4 opening reception will provide an opportunity to discuss the photographs and life on the street with the photographers and service providers.
This exhibit is a collaboration among various artists who have connected through the weekly Story Circle that meets as part of Haywood Street’s Wednesday Welcome Table. The photographic exhibit will be on display in March at Jubilee! Community with future exhibit sites to be announced later.
In Plain Sight is supported by the Haywood Street Congregation and the Arts Team of Jubilee! Community.
Haywood Street Congregation:
Haywood Street Congregation is a United Methodist mission congregation and faith-based nonprofit founded in 2009 by Rev. Brian Combs.
Our core programs include weekly worship, a clothing closet, community garden, a free community lunch known as the Downtown Welcome Table, and the Haywood Street Respite, which offers a safe place for homeless adults to stay on a short term basis after being discharged from a hospital.
Those who eat and worship together at Haywood Street are individuals carrying all their worldly possessions in ragged backpacks as well as privileged professionals, stay-at-home moms, students and the working poor.
The core programs provide a platform for the ministry of relationship, which can be defined simply as the act of “being with” and speaks to our deepest identity. It contrasts with “doing for” and requires spending time together, talking and listening, serving and being served, giving and receiving. It forms the basis for our unique and transformative companion ministry. haywoodstreet.org/
