A Photographic Journey At The Ritz Gallery

11/2/2016

The Arts Council of Mississippi County is pleased to announce the Gallery Exhibit for November will feature a collection of photographs by local photographer Jason Lloyd.  Although Mr. Lloyd is know in the area as a portrait photographer, this exhibit will feature photographs from half-a-world away.  The exhibit will open early November, and there will be a Meet the Artist Reception on Thursday, November 17th from 5:00-7:00 PM. This free event, open to the public, will be at The Ritz, 306 W. Main in historic downtown Blytheville.

The exhibit is entitled “Telema,” the lingala word for “Stand”.  Lingala is a native language of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).  Jason and his family moved to Kinshasa, the urban capitol of the DRC, in the winter of 2015. They were there to care for their adopted son until he could come home. The family embarked into what is known as the “heart of darkness.” Although the DRC is Africa’s richest country in minerals and resources, it is marred by historical and political scars which suppress the advancement of most of its’ citizens. This is a photographic journey into this sprawling city of Kinshasa and its’ forgotten people.

This collection of never before seen photographs will enlighten viewers to the realities of living in an entirely different land and culture.  Be sure to visit in November to enjoy this exhibit.  Hours are 9:00 AM-5:00 PM Monday thru Friday, and during special events on evenings and weekends.

For additional information about this or any Arts Council of Mississippi County event call (870)762-1744, or visit the website www.artsmissco.org.
