November 1, 2024(2 events) 20 Men Photography ExhibitNovember 1, 2024 – November 11, 2024 The 20 Men Project consists of a traveling photography exhibition of black men from Chester County. Often panel discussion is part of the experience. On one night close to the end of the exhibition, some of the men participating in the project will lead a panel discussion about aspects of life as a black man in Chester County. Printed materials and cards with questions from audience members, and quotes can spur conversation and examine our biases. How did the 20 Men Project Begin? After George Floyd was murdered in 2020, concerned Chester County residents met on Zoom to talk about what was happening. One of the discussion points was the way black and brown men are portrayed in the media. Christine Martey Ochola envisioned positive images of men in our community and asked Sandrien de Bruijn-Mesman if she would like to bring this project to life. The idea was to ask the men who signed up to be part of the project during their photo session: how do you want the community to see you, where do you want to be photographed, with whom do you want to be photographed, how is it to be a black man in Chester County, what would you like to change to make sure your children will live in a better world? It took almost 9 months for the first man to be photographed but when more and more men were being photographed, there came more trust and understanding about the project. As of September 2024, 34 men have been photographed and interviewed. The men created an organic network and remain connected. They participate in panel discussion during the exhibit and become mentors to black boys and young men in the community. The 20 Men Project will be exhibited at the UCWC starting Friday, November 1, with an opening reception from 5 – 7 pm. A panel discussion with participants will take place on Wednesday, November 13, from 6 – 8 pm. Refreshments will be provided at both events. Please join us!

What's the difference between a Unitarian and a Universalist? Who were the Socinians? What does Count Dracula have in common with the Unitarianism? Who was Pete Seeger's favorite circuit riding Universalist preacher? What does it mean to be a religious liberal? Could it be that UUs actually have a theological tradition of our own?
