“THE POWER OF FACES”: A photograph of a family in a refugee camp in Mexico is featured in an exhibit of photographs on view at Princeton Public Library through November 30. The images are part of a global photojournalism project by Theresa Menders and Daniel Farber Huang.

An exhibit of photographs that put a human face on the worldwide refugee crisis is on view through November 30 at Princeton Public Library. Part of “The Power of Faces,” a global photojournalism project by Theresa Menders and Daniel Farber Huang, the images are displayed on the library’s second floor.

Realizing that most of the nearly 69 million people displaced to refugee camps lost treasured family photos when they fled their homes, Menders and Huang bring photo printers into refugee camps where they distribute portraits for individuals to keep. The context of refugee camps is intentionally cropped out of the images to focus on individuals, and not merely their label as “refugees.”

“The Power of Faces” is presented in partnership with the Arts Council of Princeton.
