Oct. 3 events: Opening reception, 4-6 p.m., Davis Art Gallery; and lecture, 8 p.m., Charters Lecture Hall
Photographs by Denise McGill, a photographer and writer who has covered five continents gathering images that document the human experience. Her work has been featured in many publications, including "Christianity Today." Many of her projects focus on migration and faith issues. For several years, McGill served as an overseas correspondent for the award-winning magazine "The Commission." Major assignments included AIDS in Africa, refugees in Colombia and Muslim women.
The exhibit is being shown to highlight human dignity in contrast to human trafficking. The latter is a global issue that the College addressed during a "Not For Sale" Awareness Week in September.
