The Internal Baggage Project
Forced Alterego: The Assimilation Process in America
A Photographic Exhibit by Julius M. Lyles III
Opening Reception Tuesday, February 13
5 to 9 p.m.
through March 3
Cleveland State University Art Gallery
2307 Chester Avenue
Gallery Hours: M-F 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat. Noon-4 p.m.
The
Internal Baggage Project leads us into a deeper
understanding of the historical racial divide within
our society through more than 30 pictures of African
Americans. The project encourages Americans to
examine their beliefs about African Americans,
bringing about a different perspective of
disturbing, negative stereotypes that have festered
in the minds of American society through visual
documentation and interpretation. The
goal is to recognize the obvious discriminating
practices that occur in American
society and abroad within three areas of
concentration and find a sense of
understanding and healing for generations to come.
Julius Lyles provides complex thought to the voice
behind the
picture. As a photographer, Lyles is able to capture
the human spirit, the
conscious mind, and the profound reality of a man's
dream to self-discovery.
