The show, created by Sacred Heart University's Art & Design Department, will feature an exhibition of photographs and editorial work by Sacred Heart professor Richard Falco and the screening of a related documentary film, directed by Falco with Joe Alicastro, coordinator of news and broadcasting for the university's master’s in communication program.
The exhibit will also feature large-scale text graphics designed by Sacred Heart professor Jonathan Walker that will surround the photography and act as a “second voice” to guide viewers. Walker, associate professor and chair of the university's Art & Design Department, says he was excited to have the Art & Design Gallery host the show and collaborate in an equally creative role with Falco and Vision Project.
“The graphic design elements we will feature explore how environmental graphics in a gallery can be an equal partner to the work that is contained within the gallery space,” said Walker.
The exhibition follows the doctors, nurses, community organizers and patients who are part of an innovative and well-planned health-care network in the Mississippi Delta.
Walker and Falco, along with the College of Health Professions, plan to offer associated programs that align with the exhibition, including public forums that invite health care professionals, community leaders and organizers, students, policy makers, educators and the general public to participate and discuss the issues.
