Photo Installation Opening: Racism Is A Sickness at Main Campus Library, Mint Bldg, Community College of Philadelphia.  Artist talk at 11:30 by Tieshka K. Smith and Kimberly Bonner, Adjunct Instructor, Social Science followed by reception.

Explore this art and social change project by Philadelphia-based photographer Tieshka K. Smith. Racism Is A Sickness is a visual commentary about the insidiousness of race in American society. It is an urgent call to action to individuals and organizations working for racial justice to find new and inspiring ways to work together to heal the unchecked damage done by racist policies, practices and beliefs over multiple generations. It also is a commentary on the pervasiveness of race on social media, and the power it has to be both a game changer and a barrier to honest conversation about racism. Taken during the summer of 2015 in Germantown, the photo installation will be featured in the Library from April 11 through April 15, 2016.

Open to public until 3pm 4/11 and on Friday 4/15 without student ID.
