Cynthia Slaughter, Documentary Photographer: On Love And Loss

Hannibal Square Heritage Center
Upstairs Visiting Exhibition Gallery
642 W. New England Ave.
Winter Park, FL 32789

On View Through Jan. 18, 2021

In this series of moving black and white photographs, Cynthia Slaughter shares a deeply intimate documentary on her 94-year-old mother, Edna Pearl Butler, a retired farmworker in the celery fields of Sanford, Florida, where she has been a resident since 1950. Her images chronicle her current life of devoted service to her faith, her family, and her local community. 

Additionally, Slaughter invites viewers into her home in Orlando’s Orlovista neighborhood in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma in 2017. Slaughter tells the visual story of her life after 35 years of memories were wiped away and her home was deemed unlivable by FEMA.

Cynthia Slaughter is a Studio Artist in documentary photography at Crealdé School of Art where she has studied since 2010 and participated in Crealdé documentaries including St. Augustine at 450 and The Lake: A Documentary Exploring the Land and People of Lake Apopka. She is mentored by documentary photographer and senior faculty member Peter Schreyer.

STORYTELLERS 18: See Through Our Eyes

An Exhibition Dedicated to BLACK LIVES MATTER
Virtual Opening Reception & Gallery Talk

Local Teens Document their historic African American community in DeLand through photography & oral history. When the camera is put in their hands, and intergenerational connections are made, the results are powerful and lasting.

STORYTELLERS 18 was originally unveiled in the Fall of 2019 at the African American Museum of the Arts in DeLand — as all STORYTELLERS projects are first shown in their home town. Now on display at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center in Winter Park, this opening event includes a gallery talk by project creator and instructor Peter Schreyer, and an opportunity to meet some of the Storytellers, project partners, and supporting Fellowship Artists at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center.

Since 1996, the CREALDÉ STORYTELLERS TEEN DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY PROGRAM has given photography instruction to students ages 13–17, providing the opportunity for self-expression while exploring the heritage of their community. From Orlando’s downtown urban Parramore neighborhood to suburban Sanford and Apopka to rural Geneva and coastal New Smyrna, teens from around Central Florida have completed 18 photographic documentary exhibitions to date, all of which are available to travel.

Power, Myth, and Memory in Africana Art: Select Pieces from the CJ Williams Collection

On View: January 31–May 16
Panel Discussion: Sunday, February 23, 2-4pm
2pm Gallery Walk at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center
3pm Panel Discussion at the Alice & William Jenkins Gallery

It will include Collector CJ Williams, Curator Kristin Congdon, and Curatorial Advisor and Haitian artist Patrick Noze, and will be moderated by artist, educator and influencer Andrew Browne.

Power, Myth, and Memory in Africana Art is a partnership exhibition with other Orange County arts organizations that aim to commemorate the one hundred year anniversary of the 1920 Ocoee Massacre. The works displayed will demonstrate how artists of African descent have found power and resilience in a racially unjust world.

Charley Williams’ Winter Park-based collection spans the twentieth century and moves into the twenty-first. Because it focuses on African, Haitian, and African American art, it provides audiences with the opportunity to explore pan-African ideas that manifest themselves into the lives of three different places. Focusing on power, myth, and memory, we have that ability to see the importance of ritualistic ideas such as the “dream-soul,” animals as mediators, religious rituals, burial practices, and the importance of ancestors.

Included are works by Sister Gertrude Morgan, Clementine Hunter, David Butler, Ransom McCormick, Roi David Annisey, and Nellie Mae Rowe, as well as historic African masks, chairs, and fertility objects. These artists lift themselves up through faith, pride, and traditional practices thereby establishing diverse ways of transcending subjugation and finding strength. This artwork has extraordinary technical, historical, and symbolic weight that deserves the same respect given to traditional, western art.

The panel discussion will include Collector Charley Williams, Curator Kristin Congdon, and Curatorial Advisor and Haitian artist Patrick Noze.
