RENÉE C. BYER: LIVING ON A DOLLAR A DAY: THE LIVES AND FACES OF THE WORLD’S POOR
FEBRUARY 11 – MARCH 7, 2015
ARTIST RECEPTION: FEBRUARY 13, 6:00-8:30PM
To create her work for Living On A Dollar A Day: The Lives and Faces of the World’s Poor, a ground-breaking project that is a call to action to eradicate extreme poverty, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Renée C. Byer traveled to ten countries on four continents to illuminate the human faces of poverty. With support from The Forgotten International, a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco that works to alleviate poverty worldwide, Byer sought out people who live on the brink of survival — on a dollar a day. Her beautiful and searing photographs along with the personal stories Byer gathered, give a voice to those who would not otherwise be heard.
