Living Under The Trees                 Exhibit       May 1st-August 27th, 2011
	The Museum will feature an exhibit Living Under the Trees by David Bacon. The exhibit presents Mr. Bacon's photographs and oral histories of immigrant agricultural workers who return from work to tent settlements made of plastic- covered bamboo. The exhibit  Living Under the Trees  is based on a 2010 project in which  Mr. Bacon photographed and interviewed indigenous Mexican migrants who work in the fields of California. The exhibit explores the difficult working conditions in the fields, the acute housing crisis in indigenous communities, and efforts to preserve and develop indiginous culture as a means of survival and self-expression. David Bacon has been a reporter and documentary photographer for 18 years, shooting for many national publications. He covers isssues of labor immigration and internationalpolitics and is the recipient of numerous awards. This project is funded, in part, by the Passaic County Cultural and Heritage Council at Passaic County Community College, through a grant from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endow- ment for the Arts.
