2009 Exhibition Schedule – Webber Center Gallery

‘Face of Asia: Steve McCurry Photographs’ at CFCC


Central Florida Community College will present the unparalleled work of Steve McCurry at the Webber Center Gallery of the Ocala Campus, 3001 S.W. College Road.The exhibit opens Thursday, Sept. 17, with a reception from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

“Face of Asia: Steve McCurry Photographs” was organized by George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film and features 100 images from Afghanistan, Tibet, Cambodia, and India.

McCurry — best known for his 1985 photograph of the Afghan girl with piercing green eyes — has shot for Time, Newsweek, and National Geographic. He made headlines in 2002 when he returned to Afghanistan to find the green-eyed girl 17 years later.

“Most of my photos are grounded in people,” McCurry has said. “I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a person’s face.”

Molly Moody, exhibits coordinator of the Webber Center Gallery, said: “This is an incredible opportunity for the college and community to view the work of such an accomplished journalist, photographer and artist. McCurry offers us glimpses into fascinating locales, allowing the viewer to take a visual journey that they may never get to experience in person.”

Many events are planned in conjunction with the exhibit and are part of CFCC’s Global Conversations series. The presentation “From Southern India to Angkor Wat: The Spread of Hindu and Buddhist Culture” will take place Sunday, Oct. 4, at 2 p.m at the Appleton Museum of Art of Central Florida Community College, 4333 E. Silver springs Blvd. in Ocala, and Monday, Oct. 5, at 6:30 p.m. at the Webber Center. CFCC Professor and Fulbright-Hays Scholar Patrick Fleming will present “Beijing’s Tiananmen Square at 20 Years and Ki’an’s Terra Cotta Warriors at Two Centuries” Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 6:30 p.m. Ramona Kirsch, director of International Education at CFCC, will discuss “Faces of Asia at CFCC,” on Friday, Nov. 6, at noon.
