Mzungu Means WhiteBy John Walters on Friday, May 21, 2004.If you are a photographer and you live in a place as beautiful as New Hampshire, you would think that you have your work cut out for you. Sophia LaCava-Bohanan and Andrew Secor took their skills elsewhere. A couple of years ago, at age 16 and solo, Sophia went to a small village in Uganda to work with AIDS Orphans' Education Trust of Uganda (AOET) delivering medication to patients sick with AIDS and helping out in the local primary school. Sophia is now a senior at Hopkinton High School. In January, she returned to Uganda with fellow photographer and Boston University freshman, Andrew Secor to document the village and the people on film. The result is the photographic exhibit, Mzungu Means White, which is at the Kimball-Jenkins Estate in Concord until May 28th. Sophia and Andrew talk about why they felt called to do this work and exhibit, the challenge of balancing philanthropy with cultural sensitivity, and why the people of Uganda have mixed feelings about photographs. listen:
