Alabama Project Tours Nation
The Alabama Project is an art exhibit that documents moments in the lives of breast cancer survivors from around the state. In the photo series, renowned photographer David Jay illustrates the richness, passion and struggles of each woman’ s experience. The black and white photos capture the places survivors live, surrounded by friends and family or during quiet moments.
This powerful exhibit has traveled to various institutions across the country, most recently the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center at Loyola University, which hosted a special survivor event around the exhibition. The photos have since returned to their home in the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center’ s Wallace Tumor Institute, where they are available for viewing by the public.
