USC exhibit Oct. 13, 14 examines TB in Pee Dee
The problem of tuberculosis among African Americans will be the focus of an exhibit Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 13 - 14, at the Columbia Museum of Art.
The “S.C. African-American TB PhotoVoice Exhibit” will include a roundtable discussion and photographs to highlight the experiences and lives of patients with TB who live in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. The event is the result of a collaborative project among the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control and the University of South Carolina’s Institute for Families in Society and the Amaya-Lacson TB PhotoVoice Project at the Arnold School of Public Health.
The exhibit will feature photographs taken in 2006 by people from the Pee Dee who have had TB. Given cameras and asked to photograph the people, places and things that were important in their lives, the participants provide a photographic record of daily experiences and personal perspectives on the problem of battling the serious but often overlooked disease.
For information or to arrange coverage, call Bond Nickles or Margaret Lamb at 803-777-5400.
