On Friday night, August 8th, the Change the Truth video will be shown at the Faso Gallery. There will be two screenings: 6 PM and 7:30 PM. This is a great opportunity for those who missed the friendraiser/fundraiser at the Screenland in June or for those who just want to see Lynne Melcher’s film again!
All but one of the members of the 2007 mission trip will be in attendance and will be available for questions and answers after the film is shown. Lonnie Powell will speak about his work, as well as the ways in which the trip to Uganda has had an effect on him personally and on the artwork he has made since his return.
Some of my photographs from the trip will be on display. There will also be a “marketplace” chock full of beaded jewelry, CTT caps, tote bags, t-shirts and a few of the drawings made by the children at St. Mary Kevin Orphanage.
Just this past week, I received a package of gorgeous tye-dyed fabric made by the older children at the orphanage. These will be available for purchase for the first time on Friday night. The fabrics are large enough for tablecloths, clothing, wall hangings, etc. There are two sizes – the smaller ones are $50, the larger $100. All proceeds from the sale of the fabrics, jewelry and CTT paraphernalia will go directly back to the orphans at St. Mary Kevin’s.
If you can join us, we wold love to see you! The Faso Gallery is located at 3120 Troost Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri.
