\nAmerican Premiere of Ken Carl\u00b4s Photography Exhibit: Joy Possible With Special Guest Jo McGowan, Executive Director of the Latika Roy Foundation.
\n\u201cIn India people with disabilities, who constitute almost four to eight percent of the population are still fighting to get equal access to healthcare, education, employment and inclusion in society. Despite the magnitude of the issue, both awareness of and scientific information on disability issues are lacking.\u201d
\nAward-winning freelance photographer Ken Carl<\/a> will be displaying various photographs from a spiritually-altering trip to India where he was sent to capture the essence of the Latika Roy Foundation<\/a>, a resource center for children and young adults with special needs. Calumet Photographic, 1111 N. Cherry Ave., will host the display from May 9 to June 2, 2013, and all images will be printed by fotofl\u014dt<\/a>.
\nThrough an opportunity with Momenta<\/a>, an international journalistic based organization focused on creating unique opportunities for photographers and non-governmental organizations throughout the world, Carl\u2019s goal was to expand his knowledge and horizon, capturing a glimpse of life in a part of the world with which he wasn\u2019t familiar. In the end, Carl obtained much more of this venture.
\nRegardless of Carl\u2019s years of experience and expertise, the project came with challenges. \u201cAfter two days I just felt a sense of failure and it was really hard,\u201d said Carl. Going through the initial photographs, Carl didn\u2019t feel as though he was capturing what was necessary. \u201cI thought, \u2018I\u2019ve been given this amazing opportunity and I can\u2019t get an image out of it.\u2019\u201d
\nWith that, Carl took advantage of the days he had left. Along with integrating himself even more at the foundation, he asked for permission from the executive director of Latika Roy Jo McGowan to visit students at home and photograph them along with their families.
\nDuring his visits, Carl was able to capture nothing short of amazingly true images that exhibited the struggles and realities of families with their special needs children.
\n\u201cThese children have disabilities yet that fact is not a barrier to being a positive light,\u201d said Carl. \u201cThe human spirit can never be disabled.\u201d
\nTwo years later, with photographs full of color, emotion and joy, Carl is ready to give people outside of India insight into the school in Dehradun and bring awareness of those with special needs.
\n\u201cThis trip brought and heightened awareness in my photography,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to share the message that joy is possible through sharing, caring and treating each other well.\u201d
\nDates of Exhibition: May 9, 2013 – June 2, 2013
\nReception: May 9, 2013 from 6:30 p.m. \u2013 9 p.m.
\nLocation: Calumet Photographic Chicago, 1111 North Cherry Ave.
