Wendy Ewald: Secret Games
Chiapas, Mexico 1991
Graham Gallery
May 22 – September 4, 2010
"I went to work in Chiapas where the Tzotzil Indians, descendants of the Mayans,had lived side-by-side for four hundred years with the Ladinos, descendants of the original Spanish explorers. My residency occurred the year before the Zapatista armed revolt demanding equal rights for Indians took place. In the Tzotzil communities, the taking of pictures was strictly controlled by the village elders, who gave or withheld permission as to what might be photographed."

Collaborative Works with Children 1969-1999 - Six Projects
Goldie Paley Gallery
June 5 – October 16, 2010
In all of these projects, Ewald partners her observational and creative skills with her subjects' visual inventions, encouraging them to use cameras to create portraits of self and community, to articulate their own personal fantasies, dreams, and hopes, and to work directly with her in visual and verbal collaboration. The six projects on view include: Canada 1969-74; Kentucky 1974-82; Colombia 1982-85; Gujarat, India 1989-90; North Carolina 1989-99 and North Carolina 1999.
Collectively Speaking, Then and Now: The Philadelphia Ten and The Other Woman
Wilson Gallery
June 25, 2010 - September 4, 2010
Selection of works from the 1920s, 30s and 40s by members of The Philadelphia Ten from Moore’s archives and new and recent works by members of The Other Woman, a Philadelphia-based art collective whose members are Aubrie Costello, Laura Graham, Darla Jackson, and Laura McKinley. Both groups were formed by female artists, most of whom were students at Moore College of Art & Design (formerly known as Philadelphia School of Design for Women) in order to cultivate opportunities for group critiques, discussion forums and exhibitions.
In addition to individual works and a new installation by The Other Woman collective, the show features paintings by 7 of the 11 initial members of The Philadelphia Ten who presented their first exhibition at the Art Club of Philadelphia in 1917: Theresa Bernstein, Cora Smalley Brooks, Isabel Parke Branson Cartwright, Mary-Russell Ferrell Colton, Nancy Maybin Ferguson, Edith Lucille Howard and Helen Kiner McCarthy.
