Taking Note

A new exhibit will begin Friday in the Hugh N. Ronald Gallery at Arts Place.

Sherman to exhibit

An author who lived in Nigeria will have an exhibition in Indianapolis in February.

Indianapolis writer and photographer John Sherman will present “Nigeria On My Mind” beginning Feb. 2 at the Harrison Center for the Arts, 1505 N. Delaware St.

Sherman lived in Nigeria as a Peace Corps volunteer teacher in 1966 and 1967 and as a member of an International Committee of the Red Cross food/medical team in 1968 and 1969 during the Nigeria/Biafra Civil War.

He will be displaying photos, Nigerian chief’s regalia and war-time ephemera. A video of the opera “Biafra” will also be shown and Sherman will share excerpts from his book “War Stories: A Memoir of Nigeria and Biafra.”

Sherman recently was able to return to Nigeria, in part through a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund, to visit places where he had lived and worked and to present the paper “The Use of Artistic Works in Conflict Resolution” at the Igbo Studies Association annual conference in Owerri.
