The Saint Mary's College Center for Women’s InterCultural Leadership (CWIL) has brought the photo exhibit Celebrating Women, by renowned photojournalist Paola Gianturco, to the Cushwa-Leighton Library. It comes to the College from the Field Museum in Chicago. The exhibit depicts how the world celebrates women according to different cultures and customs. Gianturco’s collection includes 40 colorful images of festivities from around the globe that honor the feminine spirit, observe women’s rights of passage and commemorate women’s achievements. These images include parades, parties, ceremonies and competitions. The theme of the photo exhibit is in keeping with CWIL’s purpose—to prepare Saint Mary’s women to be leaders in a global society, while developing their intercultural knowledge.

      I had the pleasure of hearing Paola Gianturco speak at a conference I attended a few years ago in which she shared some of the stories behind these pictures. I purchased her book and was fortunate enough to have her sign it at the same event. The photos are a feast for the eyes and the stories they tell are fascinating. Kudos to the CWIL for bringing it to our local community and opening our eyes to our global community of women. Collapse
