This exhibit consists of 25 portraits and audio stories of lives that have been affected by teenage pregnancy. The exhibit at International College will be open to the public from March 14 to April 14 on Wednesdays through Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. There is no charge to view the exhibit. Nye s exhibit, which was featured last year at the Tampa Museum of Art, is multi-dimensional. Under each 16 x 20 portrait is a small wooden box with a CD player mounted inside.
Viewers can listen to each story with headphones.
The stories range from three to five minutes each. The participants are men and women ranging from ages 12 to 100. They are either teenage parents or were teenage parents. What is most compelling about the exhibit is the use of voices along with images, said Nye, a Texas native who received a Mid-America National Endowment for the Arts Photography Fellowship for 1991 and 1992. The voices give a powerful message.
