The "Be the People: Portraits of Contemporary America" photography exhibition looks at the turbulent last five years in America - be it natural disasters like the KY floods or man-made events like social and political movements throughout the country.
This program provides an opportunity for a select panel of experts, including KY Secretary of State Michael Adams, and its audience to reflect on the artist's works in relation to our personal shared values and beliefs as Americans, despite divisive partisan platforms. This is a program that furthers Centre College's commitment to being a safe space for all people to share their thoughts and beliefs while respectfully hearing those of others. With such a polarized country, students will see how civic and civil discourse can occur through finding foundational commonalities despite differing opinions.
