Prof. Chilton, "Witnesses to Hunger," in Media Profiles
12/12/2008

Mariana Chilton, PhD, MPH "Flashes of reality in N. Phila": Click to read the front-page profile of Prof. Mariana Chilton and her Witness to Hunger project, from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Sunday, November 30, 2008.

"In the tight rowhouse streets of North Philadelphia, people share walls and worries.

"Few outsiders see, know or feel the cycle of want and chaos that a week of privation creates.

"To show what life north of Spring Garden Street looks like to some of the people who live there, Mariana Chilton, a professor and anthropologist at Drexel University's School of Public Health, gave digital cameras to 40 women.

 


















"Out of a simple idea, complex images and narratives emerge. An exhibit of the photos, called Witnesses to Hunger, will open to the public December 11 at Drexel's Bossone Center."

Local ABC news affiliate WPVI-TV (Channel 6) featured the exhibit in a broadcast on December 10.

Prof. Chilton was also quoted in a McClatchy Newspapers article (December 8) about the rising number of children going hungry due to the troubled economy.
