SEE ME: Looking with In(ten)tion
"SEE ME: Looking with In(ten)tion" exhibit is a project created by fourteen High Point University juniors and seniors enrolled in a Service Learning Documentary Photography class under the direction of Benita VanWinkle. Our focus involved documenting the immigrants of minority cultures that make up ten percent of the High Point community and the impact they have on our community. We built special connections with refugee families, local businesses owned by immigrants, and High Point University’s international students and faculty. We heard the stories and documented the daily lives of individuals in the High Point area who were unrecognized as immigrants who have overcome hardships and stereotypes to make great contributions to our community.
The High Point Museum will be showcasing "SEE ME: Looking with In(ten)tion" April 29-July 15th.
