SUMMARY:RVA as Seen Through the Pinhole
DESCRIPTION:Richmond\, VA • RVA as Seen Through the Pinhole will open as a part of the First Friday’s ArtWalk\, 5p – 9p on Friday\, September 5 at Ęlęgba Folklore Society’s Cultural Center\, 101 East Broad Street in the downtown RVA arts district at the corner of 1st and Broad. This exhibition of black and white photographs will be available through November 30. The artist\, James W. Draper\, Jr.\, produced the photographs using the techniques of pinhole photography. \nRVA as Seen Through the Pinhole is a series of photographs depicting scenes around Richmond. This series demonstrates the artist’s fascination with the light tight box or camera obscura and its potential. Says Draper\, “The pinhole camera is unconventional photography that challenges the analog in me. The pinhole gives me freedom to go beyond traditional photography.” Because the camera obscura functions like a projector or like a recorder\, it can support creativity in the pinhole artist by producing unique images and ideas. \nA pinhole camera and imagery to record will be included in the exhibition\, and visitors to the cultural center can try it out. \nHistorically\, and according to pinhole expert and enthusiast Anita Chernewski\, the image-forming ability of a tiny hole is thought to have been known thousands of years ago by nomadic people of North Africa\, who lived in animal skin tents. A pinhole in the tent would project an image of the brilliant scene outside. The pinhole photographic work of Afro Canadian artist Melinda Mollineaux commemorates the forgotten place of Cadboro Bay\, where Black people gathered to celebrate Emancipation Day in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. \nPhotographer\, Draper\, with a Masters Degree from Virginia State University\, is a retired educator in Richmond Public Schools. He has been a member of the Camera Club of Richmond\, National Conference of Artists and the Virginia Educational Media Association\, among others. He has taught photography at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College\, and he has served as a staff photographer at Richmond Free Press. \nDraper has exhibited widely around Virginia\, and he has received numerous awards and honors in the field.

SUMMARY:Ancestral Homage is a Key to Wholeness
DESCRIPTION:In April 1994\, human bones and artifacts from the 19th century were discovered in an abandoned well uncovered during construction on Virginia Commonwealth University’s MCV Campus. The well’s contents are believed to have been discarded in the 1800s by medical staff. \nThese humans\, mainly of African descent\, were not shown the respect they were due\, neither in life nor in death. The university is committed to moving forward in a manner reflecting the dignity that should be accorded these individuals and has created the East Marshall Street Well Project to facilitate a process with the community that ensures the remains receive appropriate study\, memorialization and reburial. \nVirginia Commonwealth University and the East Marshall Street Well Planning Committee for an open house and ceremony Wednesday\, November 19\, 2014 from 5p to 7:30p. \nBe a part of the Processional that Precedes Remarks at 5:30p. \nElegba Folklore Society’s Libation Ceremony at 6p. \nHermes A.
