SUMMARY:Chester Higgins The Intimacy of Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Previous Refuge Gallery Exhibits\n \nThe Refuge Gallery serves as a venue for exhibitions of artistic work relating to humanitarian and social justice issues. Using art as a means to illuminate\, educate and provoke\, the Refuge Gallery seeks to bring the Fordham community closer to the injustices experienced by our fellow global citizens. \nOur vision is to create a stimulating environment encouraging of cultural and artistic inquiry through a social justice lens for our students\, neighbors\, artists\, and the humanitarian sector — not only at the Institute but at Fordham University as a whole. Please visit the IIHAs Refuge Gallery website to learn more about Chester and view his work from Intimacy of Prayer iiharefugegallery.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n \nIntroduction and about Refuge Gallery\nThe Refuge Gallery is an extension of the work at the IIHA. To contact Refuge Gallery for collaboration\, proposal\, or general inquiry please email refugegallery@fordham.edu. \nArtist Introduction\nChester Higgins\nWith his camera\, CHESTER HIGGINS “wrestles with issues of memory\, place and identity\, he sees his life as a narrative and his photography as its expression. His art gives visual voice to his personal and collective memories. It is inside ordinary moments where he finds windows into larger meaning. Light\, perspective\, and points in time are the pivotal elements he uses to reveal an interior presence within his subjects as he searches for what he identifies as the Signature of the Spirit. The work of Chester Higgins challenges us to see the full breadth of our humanity. Through his portraits and studies of living rituals\, traditional ceremonies and the monuments and ruins of ancient civilizations\, viewers gain a rare insight into cultural behavior — a window to another place and time. \nHiggins is the author of eight collections: Black Woman\, Drums of Life\, Some Time Ago\, Feeling the Spirit: Searching the World for the People of Africa — a comprehensive look at the African Diaspora — and Elder Grace: The Nobility of Aging. His memoir entitled\, Echo of the Spirit: A Photographer’s Journey and illustrated Ancient Nubia: African Kingdoms on the Nile. His most recent book\, Sacred Nile\, explores the ancient migratory route of faith along the River Nile. Higgins photographs have appeared in ArtNews\, New York Times\, Nile Magazine\, Explorers Journal and Archaeology. His work is the topic of two PBS films\, “An American Photographer: Chester Higgins Jr.\,” and “Brotherman” and has been featured on CBS: “Sunday Morning News\,” PBS: “The NewsHour\,” ABC: “Like It Is\,” “Freedom Forum” and CUNY TV “Tony Guida’s New York.” \nHis solo exhibitions have appeared at the International Center of Photography\, The Smithsonian Institution\, The Museum of African Art\, The Museum of Photographic Arts\, The Schomburg Center\, The Newark Museum\, National Civil Rights Museum\, The Field Museum of History\, The New-York Historical Society\, the Windows Gallery/Kimmel Center of New York University\, The Dapper Museum in Paris and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. \nHiggins was recently honored with his induction into the International Photography Hall of Fame. He is the recipient of grants from The Ford Foundation\, the Rockefeller Foundation\, the International Center of Photography\, the Open Society Institute\, The National Endowment for the Arts and the Andy Warhol Foundation (ICP). In 2014 he retired from The New York Times as a staff photographer after 38 years of contributing images to the paper. \nTo learn more about the artist\, see his website; \nChesterHiggins.com — #chesterhiggins12 and SacredNile.com \nMeet the Refuge Gallery team\nJoél Alexander De Andrade Ledesma (b. 1989) is Refuge Gallery Curatorial Fellow. Joél is a cultural worker\, educator\, and community organizer. Born in Caracas\, Venezuela and raised mostly in NYC and the surrounding area\, Joél is excited to continue building the Refuge Gallery as a physical and non-physical space where art is used as a tool and practice to spark change\, conversation\, and contemplation around matters of social justice and humanitarian affairs. \nOpening Reception of Intimacy of Prayer\nThe Fordham University community and photography fans from around New York gathered for an intimate opening reception April 11 inside Canisius Hall at Fordham’s Rose Hill campus.
