DE NOVO

De Novo is a documentary theatrical piece, a true story, crafted from immigration court transcripts, interviews, and letters that recount the harrowing story of Edgar Chocoy. As a 14-year-old, he fled gang violence in Guatemala and traveled over 3,000 miles, through three countries, to the United States in search of his mother.

De Novo depicts the plight of “unaccompanied alien minors” held in immigration custody in the U.S. and the fight for justice and asylum.

TINA SELIGMAN:

Through different projects, TINA has been studying the relationships between music, visual art, and the rhythms of organic cycles -- universal languages that connect us, transcending geography and time. While certain pieces visually examine musical structures and cultural traditions, others have been transcribed from music, or have had music transcribed from the images.

SAM OPPENHEIM:

"SEE THE WORLD THROUGH MY LENS" takes you to Sam's website which takes you around the globe...

Sam Oppenheim has been photographing for 15 years, during which he received a B.A. at Columbia University in Archaeology & Comparative Religion, a M.A. in the Archaeology of Ancient India at UW-Madison, and a M.A. in Education at City College New York.

Sam is a self-taught photographer who shoots both film and digital. His talent has been shaped and practiced in over 30 countries on 6 continents. His inspiration comes from within, and his style is influenced by National Geographic magazine, Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, and Lynn Saville. After 5 years teaching in the Bronx, he now works as a freelance photographer, and for a new company helping restaurants manage online ordering at Let's Order Online. NANCY WILLIAMS: Nancy is a NYC School Teacher and has been exploring photography in her travels. This is Nancy's first showing and as a good friend of Novo's, she was inspired by the local artists displayed there each month and wanted to share some of her treasured images.
