The Dogon

Mark Borghi Fine Art will host the exhibit and opening reception of “The Dogon: A limited-edition series of photographs by Stuart Franklin” on Saturday, August 28th 2010 from 6-9 pm at 2426 Main Street, Bridgehampton, NY. 100% of sales will go to the Voss Foundation, whose mission is to help provide rural African villages with access to clean water.

The exhibition will feature the limited-edition series of high-quality photographs depicting the life of a desert landscape, where water is paramount in the daily struggle to survive. On average, a rural African household spends more than 25 percent of its time fetching water, a burden shouldered primarily by women and children. Nearly five thousand children die each day from preventable diseases due to unclean water and inadequate sanitation – more than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and measles combined.
