JUMP: Photographs from Kingston, Jamaica. On view at Stirling’s Gallery, January 16 - March 25, 2012. Opening reception Thursday, February 2, 4:00-5:30. Sewanee, Tennessee. Photographs by Rachel Nance Malde (c2000), taken in the Trenchtown and Riverton neighborhoods of Kingston, while accompanying a University of the South outreach trip in January of 2011. "The Outreach program has a long connection with these neighborhoods, and as a result, I met community leaders, teachers, and families that I would not have known otherwise." In March of this year, Malde and a colleague will travel with eleven students from St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School to Kingston on another service trip with plans to reconnect with some of the children she met there a year ago. Proceeds from the sales of these photographs will support the St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School service trip to Kingston.
