SLU GALLERY EXHIBITS ALUMNA'S PHOTODOCUMENTARY

CANTON – A photodocumentary by 2003 St. Lawrence University graduate Leah Krieger, 
of Amesbury, Massachusetts, will be exhibited in the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery 
on campus through October 11. 
      Krieger created an installation titled Lejos de Dios/Far From God, based on 
an ethnographic research project that she conducted in Mexico from July through 
November 2002. For the exhibition, she examines issues of economic and gender 
equity in the international coffee market and rural women’s health care, as well 
as cultural traditions, tourism and social protest. She includes her own 
photographs, cultural artifacts and journal excerpts of personal observations 
and reflections, so that the project weaves together visual artistic expression, 
academic research and ethnographic cultural critique.  
	Her interest in diverse Latino cultures stems from living in and exploring 
Western and Southwestern states in the U.S. Krieger's research in Mexico was funded 
by a grant from the St. Lawrence University Romeo/Gilbert Intercultural Endowment. 
Additional support for the exhibition is provided by the Cashin Endowment for Fine 
Arts, the global studies department, the modern languages department and the 
Caribbean and Latin American Studies program.  
	For more information or to arrange individual or group tours, contact the 
gallery at 315-229-5174.
