| Message | People say that a photograph is worth a thousand words. In the case of world renowned photographer Phil Borges, one could argue that there aren’t enough words. Since August, USD has hosted Borges’ exhibit, “Stirring the Fire: A Global Movement to Empower Women and Girls,” in the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice (IPJ).
The photography serves as a call to action and celebration of the women and girls — mostly in developing countries — who have broken through barriers of tradition and oppression to become catalysts for change in their communities. Their stories shed light on specific gender issues worldwide while revealing practical pathways for women and girls to achieve gender equality.
The free exhibit is open to the public through Dec. 15 at the IPJ Fine Arts Gallery. Countless members of the community, USD students and faculty and young school children have come through IPJ’s doors to catch a glimpse of the faces Borges has captured on film. (Full Story Inside USD)
