PRESS RELEASE

Filipino Domestic Workers Tell Stories Through Pictures at Photography
Exhibit Opening


New York - Ten Filipina domestic workers will kick off "Unseen America," a
photography exhibit, with an opening reception this coming Sunday, September
9, 2001 from 3:30 to 5:00 PM. The exhibit will be held at the Brecht Forum at
122 West 27th Street, 10th Floor, Manhattan (between 6th & 7th Avenues).

"Unseen America" is a program to promote first person photographs and stories
by members of society who we do not often see in our nation's media. The
program is sponsored by 1199's Bread and Roses Cultural Project.
Participants of the spring 2001 class are babysitters, housekeepers,
secretaries and administrators and are members of the Filipino Workers Center
and Women-in-Motion.

The photographs are all black and white and depict the social, family and
work life of the participants. There will be a short program at the
reception in which some of the photographers will discuss their work.

The exhibit is on-going until October 1, 2001. The exhibit is available for
viewing most weekday afternoons and by appointment. There is no charge.

For more information, please contact the Filipino Workers Center at
