‘20 Stories From 20 Galveston Kids’

Students from L.A. Morgan, Rosenberg and Satori elementary schools will have a book signing of “After Ike: 20 Stories from 20 Galveston Kids,” a book they collaboratively worked on with Stephanie Thomas and Nine François after Hurricane Ike from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at MOD Coffeehouse, 2126 Postoffice St., in Galveston. Everyone’s invited to attend.

Nine Francois, a nationally known photographer, conducted a Satori Photography workshop for students from Satori, LA Morgan, and Rosenberg Schools.  The twenty students, including all Satori Middle and Upper School students and five students from each of the GISD schools,  tell their stories of “After IKE”  in photographic images and writing.  Using a project camera each student had a 10 day period to document their own view of “After IKE”.

UPDATE: See pre-event coverage from Fox 26 Houston and ABC 13 Eyewitness News television.

We are most thankful to Susan and Robert Lynch, the Kempner Foundation, and the Galveston Art Center for providing funding for this project.
