WOMEN OF YALE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY FEATURED IN WOMEN OF A NEW TRIBE EXHIBITION 

    On 25 February 2008, The Afro-American Cultural Center at Yale University will open the WOMEN OF A NEW TRIBE exhibition. This exhibition which has been called a photographic celebration of the spiritual and physical beauty of black women will include the images of 29 women from the Yale community. These black women include students and staff from Yale University as well as women of various professions from New Haven, CT. Photographers Debra and Jerry Taliafero traveled to New Haven last January and spent three days photographing the selected women. Their efforts resulted in some of the most powerful and striking images in the entire collection which includes well over 200 images. The exhibition will run through 25 May 2008. For more information on the Yale exhibition go to www.yale.edu/afam. 

    The
WOMEN OF A NEW TRIBE exhibition premiered in June 2002 in Charlotte, NC and has since traveled to a number of cities, including Nashville, knoxville, Pittsburgh and Birmingham. The exhibition uses photography done in a styles reminiscent of the high glamour photography of 1930's and 1940's Hollywood to explore the inner and outward beauty of the black women who inhabit our everyday lives. This unique treatment of black women has been called "Powerful", "Uplifting" and "Long Overdue".
