In these stark and powerful portraits of blind children in Mexico City, Jed Fielding, a Chicago based photographer, finds an eerie aesthetic that would have us question our very notions of beauty, as well as our concepts of vision and the role of spectator. These poignant photographs are the result of a close and intimate collaboration with children at schools for the blind whose instructions were often as simple as "look at me." The exhibition is accompanied by a companion book.

the united states government was created to lobby for the peoples interests. while recognizing there is an ongoing struggle in African countries facing extreme poverty, genocide and civil unrest the united states government has done little to nothing to answer the cries of the people living in these regions. i call on the United states to step up efforts in Africa to reduce the costs of lives innocent. we have the power, persuasion and and tools to implement support networks and aid in Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sierra Leone and any other country that requests aid of America. If we can rally together as a country, undivided and demand the support of our government, as a nation we can compel the United States Government to take action.
