The
Sonoma County Survivor Project
The Sonoma County Survivor Project shares the dramatic stories and
images of seemingly ordinary community members, including Japanese
Americans, European Jews and Cambodians, who have survived severe
loss of their human and civil rights. The exhibit is composed of
present day photographs, informal portraits and reproductions of
precious family documents, along with excerpts from oral history
interviews. The exhibit's aim is to document neighbors' histories
and celebrate the resiliency of their spirit, in the hope that
an intimate acquaintance with these individuals will help us prevent
similar episodes in the future.
The Sonoma County Survivor Project is an online exhibit and freestanding
traveling show created by photographer, teacher, and Executive Director
of Listening for a Change Phyllis Rosenfield and oral historian/computer
scientist Lisa Slater. The exhibit of black and white photographic
portraits combined with colorful observations of personal experience
and the world today is extremely powerful alone. It can also be
combined with our other programs, Essence
of Acceptance and Community Listening Project.
