A Missionary Family Struggles to Develop Schools for American Indians
The story follows Rev. Isaac and Christiana McCoy as they take on the challenging task of establishing an Indian mission school in the Michigan Territory during the 1800s. Their dedication and partnership highlight the struggles and triumphs they faced while navigating cultural complexities and personal sacrifices in their mission to educate and uplift Native American communities.
Memory of Trees is a dark and startling reminder of an all too often forgotten genocide committed against Armenians in the early 1900s by the once powerful Ottoman Empire. Since 2007, Kathryn Cook travelled between Turkey and Armenia and on to Syria, Lebanon and Israel unearthing the shameful truth whilst giving a voice to its survivors and legacy. The resulting collection of images emphasise the emotional tonality of the story rather than documenting specific events, and ensure this overlooked genocide finally finds a voice and some sense of closure.
