Kintsugi Breast Cancer Photo Exhibit
October 10
An event every day that begins at 12:00 am, repeating until Friday, October 11, 2024
Event Navigation
Dayton Metro Library will host the Kintsugi Breast Cancer Photo Exhibit in the Main Library’s Opportunity Space at St. Clair from Monday, September 30 through Friday, October 11, with a special reception on Thursday, October 3, from 5:30-7 pm in the Opportunity Space as well.
The exhibit features breast cancer survivors from the Dayton area, and patrons will be able to hear behind the scenes details about the exhibit at this reception, as well as survivors sharing their stories and experiences. Resources for those who may be experiencing breast cancer will also be available. Organizations on hand will include Breast Wishes; Pink Ribbon Good; Noble Circle; The Well; Center for Women’s Wellness; and Christina Siegel R.N., B.S.N., Tattoo Nipple Fairy.
The Kintsugi Breast Cancer Photo Exhibit was created by Carolyn Reveal, a two-time breast cancer survivor. Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese art that takes something broken and puts it back together using a precious metal, such as gold – thus an object’s breakage becomes part of its history, not something to disguise. Inspired by this art, Reveal and other survivors have used it as a healing tool.
Patrons who visit this exhibit will see how breast cancer has been used to create something stronger and more beautiful and are reminded that this exhibit may include personal and sensitive images and text.
