Join ESTHER and Fit Oshkosh at the Appleton Public Library on September 27 for the opening of “The Color-Brave Photo Project: Black and Brown Faces, a New Narrative.”
This traveling exhibit, a project of Fit Oshkosh, will be on display starting September 27 through October 3 at the Appleton Public Library on the first floor. The exhibit will be introduced at a reception and community conversation hosted by ESTHER and facilitated by Fit Oshkosh.
The Color-Brave exhibit features photographs of people of color who live in Oshkosh. The photos are accompanied by stories about the person’s life. The exhibit seeks to shift common stereotypes about people of color, to explore the negative impacts these false narratives have on the community and to celebrate residents of color.
“Ultimately, the exhibit is a celebration of people of color, our choices and our lives with our own images and stories,” said Tracey Robertson, Fit Oshkosh Executive Director. This project was funded by the Wisconsin Humanities Council and the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation. The Color-Brave Photo opening reception and community conversation is sponsored by ESTHER.
