Opening Reception: Friday, April 14, 5–8 p.m.
“Lerozyon (L-EURO-ZHUHN) ” examines the daily rituals of cultural and botanical preservation that anchor the Seychellois people and traditions to their land despite an economic reliance on Western tourism and the steady cultural erosion endured as a result.
The Seychelles Islands, loosely tethered to the Horn of Africa, is an archipelago consisting of over 115 islands in the Indian Ocean. It has been called Paradise, the Original Colony, and the Garden of Eden. It is also where Natasha Moustache made thousands of portraits and vibrant landscapes while revisiting their grandparents’ homeland. Meticulously edited and exhibited within a lush, domestic installation “Lerozyon (l-EURO-zhuhn)” brings humanity and dimension to the islands that moves beyond the paradisiacal facade that has outwardly defined it.
This exhibition is partially sponsored by Columbia College’s Photography Department and the Stuart R. Abelson Graduate Research Fellowship. The Stuart R. Abelson Graduate Research Fellowship was established to encourage international travel among Photography students while completing a specific project and to support the experience by assisting with the costs of travel.
Programming:
Thursday, May 4, 5–8 p.m.
