First on assignment and then as a volunteer for the human rights group Mental Disability Rights International, Eugene Richards has documented the cruelty and mistreatment that the mentally ill and the developmentally disabled suffer in psychiatric facilities. Documenting public psychiatric institutions in Argentina, Armenia, Hungary, Kosovo, Mexico, and Paraguay, Richards addresses how residents of these institutions are deprived of proper medical care, counseling, and education, and therefore stand little chance of living productively within these facilities.
Photographs from A Procession of Them will be on exhibit at 401 Projects in New York from November 26, 2008 through January 18, 2009.
Location
401 Projects 401 West Street (at Charles Street) New York, NY 10014
A Procession of Them was included in OSI’s Moving Walls 10 exhibition. In 2005, Richards received a Documentary Photography Project Distribution Grant to produce a multimedia DVD of this work.
