Tonight: To the Village Square

Award-winning French photojournalist Lionel Delevingne discusses “To the Village Square: From Montague to Fukushima 1975-2014,” his new book of photography at 6pm on Friday, November 7th at Everyone’s Books.

Having witnessed the student riots in France in 1968, Delevingne began photographing non-violent protests around the world. After settling in Montague, Massachusetts, the epicenter of New England activism, Delevingne began photographing the protests of the local power plants, including Vermont Yankee and Seabrook. Earlier this year he traveled to Fukushima, Japan.

Delevingne is a recipient of many awards including the National Endowment of the Arts/Humanities (NEA), University & College Designers Association (UCDA), University Professional & Continuing Education Association (UCEA), and Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).

A powerful and moving book, we do hope you’ll come and talk about the images and their importance. Besides, you may see someone you know!
