From the organizer:

“Nhìn | Picturing Autism Vietnam” is part of photographer Debbie Rasiel’s journey across disparate landscapes, language barriers and cultural divides to document the lives of families with living autism. In this exhibition, a collective portrait emerges of families and caregivers living with autism, loving their children, and continuing on with their lives.

Debbie Rasiel is a photographer and art historian. She has worked for NGOs in New York and South Africa. Debbie spent several years documenting a paper-making poverty relief program and an AIDS orphanage outside of Johannesburg. Her photographs from South Africa are included in a book, “Women on Purpose”, funded by the Ford Foundation. She has also written about and curated exhibitions for other artists, including a book and an exhibit on Dorothea Lange. Debbie received her BFA from the University of Florida, her MA from Tufts University, completed coursework toward a PhD at the City University of New York, and has had extensive training in digital media at the International Center of Photography. Her photographs are in many collections, both private and public, including those of Rutgers University, and the University of Johannesburg. She is represented by SoHo20 Chelsea Gallery in New York City.

Free entrance.
