AUBURN — “In Our Family: Portraits of all kinds of families,” a touring photo-text display created by the award-winning Family Diversity Projects of Amherst, Mass., is currently featured at High Street Congregational United Church of Christ, 106 Pleasant St., Auburn, through April 17. The exhibit will be open from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday and Friday evenings from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

During the Friday, April 8 viewing hours, a silent dessert auction will be held, and light refreshments served, to benefit the project.

“In Our Family” travels nationwide in schools colleges, public libraries, workplaces, places of worship, conferences, museums, and communities. The exhibit is championed by diversity professionals, families, educators, parents, and all people interested in educating the public about diversity.

 Family Diversity Projects is a nonprofit educational organization founded by exhibit creators, Peggy Gillespie, project interviewer and editor,  and Gigi Kaeser,  photographer. They have created four photo-text exhibits (three of which have been published in book form) to help eliminate prejudice, stereotyping, and harassment of people discriminated against due to race, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, gender, class, and disability. The mission of FDP is to propel forward a world where all families are recognized, valued and fully supported, when “normal” or “different” are words not used to describe family, and where the right to define family is respectfully restored to individuals.
