A PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLECTION OF "WOMEN’S WORK
Images from Africa"

In this collection of 35, sepia-toned photographs, made in 2006 by Roger “Muzungu” Moore, you will see women of The Congo and Kenya as they do the things they must do every day in order to survive.

WHAT:           Roger “Muzungu” Moore, shares his poignant insight to the “Women’s Work” of the women of The Congo and Kenya through his photography.  This photographic exhibition was complimented by rare African artifacts collected by Karen Manning of Dallas.  The Opening Reception was Friday, March 2, 2007 and extended through April 30, 2007.

DETAILS:      Struggling in rural villages, in abject poverty, sometimes as displaced refugees ripped from their homes by war or famine or disease, women of Africa work and toil just to survive on a daily basis.  They weave their huts from brush and cover them with dung.  They scratch the dry ground with sticks to plant vegetables for food.  Almost all must lug heavy Gerry-cans of water every day for their family’s survival.  For some a “life-walk,” a three day walk to the nearest water, is their life’s work. They man the market stalls. They make jewelry and crafts to sell.  All the while bearing, carrying and caring for their children.  They struggle though war, famine, AIDS, and natural disasters.  They die young.  In this collection of 35, sepia-toned photographs, made in 2006 by Roger “Muzungu” Moore, you will see women of The Congo and Kenya as they pursue their "Women's Work."
