WNED and CEPA Gallery present The Homespace Project, an exhibition of moving and inspiring images by social documentary photographer Errol Daniels.   Opening on April 15, the exhibition will be on view at WNED's Horizons Gallery through May 20 at Horizons Gallery, which is located in the WNED studio at 140 Lower Terrace in downtown Buffalo.

The Homespace Project exhibition reveals the exceptional work being accomplished by Buffalo's Homespace Corporation and is the centerpiece of Homespace's tenth anniversary celebration, commemorating the organization's success in empowering young, single-parent families with necessary life skills.

Daniels collaborated with writer Lorna C. Hill, who created illuminating and engrossing text based on numerous interviews with current and former residents of Homespace, some of whom were homeless and others abused, who have gone on to build stable lives, and several Homespace staffers.

"The stories that The Homespace Project chronicles are inspiring for all communities grappling with homelessness, poverty and single-parent issues," said Daniels. "For both Lorna and me, this project not only represents our commitment to the city of Buffalo, but is a natural outgrowth of our social consciousness."

The Homespace Project will travel to various venues throughout the eight counties of Western New York State to promote the mission and work of Homespace. The Homespace Project exhibition tour is coordinated by CEPA Gallery.

Errol Daniels began chronicling socially and politically relevant images through social documentary photography in the1960's while he worked in the Civil Rights Movement in Chicago. He continues to be devoted to photography that reveals the dignity, humanity, and courage of his subjects as they contend with the adversity and hardships of daily life. His photographs can be found in the collection of the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, the Spartan burg Museum of Art in South Carolina, and in private collections.

In 1978, Lorna C. Hill, an accomplished writer, poet playwright, founded the Ujima Theater in downtown Buffalo to advance opportunities for African-American and other artists of color, dramatists and writers. Hill, an educator, also provides workshops in writing, theater, and public speaking, and delivers consulting services to public service agencies that address issues affecting women and children, racism, and art.

The Horizons Gallery exhibition is open to the public on weekdays from 9 am-4:30 pm.  Admission and parking are free.   For more information, call (716) 845-7000.
