In the African tradition, a Griot is the oral historian portraying the cultural essence of a community through the Word.

Susan J. "Sue" Ross, the PhotoGriot, tells the stories of our community through her eye and the lens of her camera. The daughter of a cultural anthropologist and a social worker, Sue is an artist & cultural worker using the medium of photography to document the social, political and cultural experiences of the community. 

Look for our upcoming exhibits in February (Buckhead Library), March (Downtown Library) & October (SW Arts Center) in 2010.

For Atlanta Celebrates Photography 2009, we exhibited as part of "The Colored Museum" at the Porter Sanford Center and in Serenbe, and debuted our new website designed by member Sandra Oei
