OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT

The Emerald Green Exhibit

About Her Exhibit…

My name is Emerald Green and I am a photographer in Atlanta, GA.

My submissions include images of women throughout the 2020 protests that were held throughout GA as well as Louisville, KY.

I thought about what was asked of me, about me telling about myself and my work.

While I was at different protests, I saw that there were only white men who were capturing moments.

I asked a few of the activists at the time if they knew where the photos were going, and none really knew.

Although I’m sure that they had good intentions, I did not like the fact that no one could say where their photos were going.

They had nothing.

That was when I decided to use my talents to be sure to capture OUR narrative, OUR way.

I can no longer allow our stories to be told by anyone else other than ourselves.

My submissions reflect the many women who are constantly on the front lines, constantly putting themselves in danger for a little “good trouble”.

The Meg Nocero Exhibit

When in April of 2011 I lost my mother to breast cancer, I also lost my way. Perseverance and a never give up attitude is certainly something I learned from my Italian American upbringing as well as a love of writing, reading books and the arts. Navigating the grieving process, I turned to writing as a healing tool. I started simply. I would wake in the morning and read from a book that resonated with me.

The Cheryl Prose Exhibit

The MeToo Art Project launched October 2017 and is designed to (1) give survivors of sexual violence another vehicle by which to speak their truth about their experience, (2) be a means by which to hold perpetrators accountable, (3) raise awareness of the epidemic of sexual harassment and assault, and (4) be a means by which solidarity is shown- without regard to gender- with and to those who have experienced this type of life-altering attack.
