Daughters of India: Photographs by Stephen P. Huyler
Mar 29th, 2009 to Jul 26th, 2009
India is a country of contradictions and nowhere is this more obvious than in the way they treat the women. While women are considered to be the reincarnation of Laxmi, the goddess of money, they are often suppressed and abused. Photographer Stephen Huyler explores what lies beneath the calm and composed demeanor of the ladies who are the rock of the family in times of trouble. This exhibition is a celebration of these strong-willed women and their incredible talents.
