We are pleased to welcome Internationally renowned photographer Rick Guidotti to Rochester for the opening of the photographic exhibition Positive Exposure, at George Eastman House. The Positive Exposure Exhibition is the premiere of twenty portraits of people living with intellectual disabilities plus a collection from Guidotti's main Positive Exposure Exhibition, which premiered at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC and continues to exhibit in galleries, museums and public arenas internationally. The exhibition provides the opportunity to see beyond all labels or disabilities. See our ambassadors as the beautiful, vibrant individuals that they are.
Rick has spent 15 years working to effect a sea change in societal attitudes toward individuals living with genetic differences. The award-winning former fashion photographer founded and directs Positive Exposure, an innovative nonprofit arts, education, and advocacy organization that explores the social and psychological experiences of people living with genetic, physical, cognitive, and behavioral differences.
We hope you can join us on October 1 to hear Rick talk about his inspiring work and how he is helping people to understand and see the beauty in our shared humanity. Please RSVP at the link below.
