'In Our Family Exhibit' Continues at SU

SALISBURY, MD---What makes a family portrait? Is it a couple? A group? A mother and son? Father and daughter? Adopted children? Parents? Grandparents? Siblings?

Salisbury University examines the concept through the traveling exhibit “In Our Family: Portraits of All Kinds of Families” through Friday, March 31, in the Ernie Bond Curriculum Resource Center (CRC), Conway Hall Room 226.

Created by Family Diversity Projects, the exhibit includes photos by Gigi Kaeser, and interviews edited by Rebekah Boyd and Peggy Gillespie. The display celebrates the diversity of family life in the 21st-century U.S., including single-parent, immigrant, adoptive, foster, divorced, gay- and lesbian-parented, multi-racial and multigenerational families, as well as stepfamilies and those living with physical or mental challenges.

Sponsored by the Samuel W. and Marilyn C. Seidel School of Education and Professional Studies, Early and Elementary Education Department, and SU Libraries, admission is free and the public is invited.

CRC hours are 9 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday. For more information contact Mou Chakraborty, director of external library services, at 410-543-6131 or visit the SU website at www.salisbury.edu.
