Intersections with Photographs from Gaze by Michael Meyersfeld

A series of photographs from a book titled Gaze by Michael Meyersfeld accompanied the unveiling of a new local organization, Intersections of the Triad. Intersections is an organization devoted to social support for the local HIV/AIDS population. The organization plans to promote HIV awareness, encourage testing, and open a center where homeless men and women can use computers and consult with case managers. Read the September 24th article in The Chronicle by browsing through the archive for the September 24th edition and reading page A2.

Michael Meyersfeld's book Gaze is a collection of portraits of a spectrum of South Africans who identify with many different sexual identities.

The exhibition of these photographs was the first in the United States. Although the event was private, the public will have more opportunities to view Meyersfeld's work in the future. The exhibit is abroad for several months but will eventually visit the U.S. again.
