The En Foco Touring Gallery is proud to present black and white photographs by Kervin Maule, at the Edenwald Branch of the New York Public Library in the Bronx, from February 1 to March 12, 2003.
Kervin Maule’s photographic goal is to examine the cultural, physical, and spiritual life of Africans in the Diaspora. This series, titled Portraits of Ibo Children, was taken in 1998 in the village of Ibo in the state of Owerri in Nigeria, West Africa. He states, “they are proud and dignified children who live in poverty every day. I felt a close relationship with them because of my own experience as a black child growing up in the Diaspora.”
Maule immigrated to the Unites States in 1983, from St. Vincent in the Caribbean. He studied architecture, printmaking and photography at City College/CUNY, in New York City. His work has been exhibited at the Fordham Public Library, Bronx, NY; Brooklyn Public Library, The Picnic House and Memorial Arch in Brooklyn, NY; the City College Gallery, and the Bread and Roses Gallery in New York City.
