JEANINE MICHNA-BALES: THROUGH DARKNESS TO LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHS ALONG THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD
JUNE 23 – AUGUST 11, 2017

ARTIST TALK AND OPENING RECEPTION FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 5:30PM

“Michna-Bales’ haunting photographs follow a route from the cotton plantations of central Louisiana, through the cypress swamps of Mississippi and the plains of Indiana, north into Canada — a path of nearly fourteen hundred miles. They evoke the constant fear these night travelers must have felt of being killed or recaptured as they traversed harsh terrain and ominious river crossings guided from one secret, safe location to the next by the ever-changing clandestine group known as the Underground Railroad. The culmination of a ten-year research quest, Through Darkness to Light imagines an epic journey to liberty as it might have appeared to any freedom seeker.”
