Secret Games: Collaborative Workswith Children, 1969—1999 By Wendy Ewald "Sometimes I think I disguise myself as a teacher in order to make the pictures I need to see."-Wendy Ewald The Center for Documentary Studies announces the publication of an extraordinary new book by Center research associate Wendy Ewald. In 1989 CDS launched Literacy through Photography (LTP), a project developed and directed by Ewald, which has grown from a two-week pilot for twenty children to a program in fourteen Durham public schools. LTP is part of the journey Ewald has followed for thirty years as a photographer, writer and teacher, and Secret Games takes us on that journey with her. A stunningly designed and printed book, Secret Games presents a retrospective view of Ewald's collaborations. It shows and tells us about the artist's path, beginning when she was nineteen years old in 1969, working with children in Labrador. From there Ewald went to Appalachia, and later began her travels throughout the world pursuing creative collaborations in Colombia and, in the last ten years, in India, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Holland, Mexico, and Durham, North Carolina. Published by Scalo Press in association with the Center for Documentary Studies and the Addison Gallery of American Art, Wendy Ewald's Secret Games: Collaborative Works with Children 1969-1999 also accompanies a major traveling exhibition.
"What's striking about Ewald's work is not just the effect she has on her students but the results they achieve together."-Francine Prose, O: The Oprah Magazine
"Wendy Ewald has had a photographic career like no one else, teaching photography to children as a means of building literacy and self-esteem. Ewald's project is wonderful because it lets kids speak for themselves; instead of being passive subjects for the lens, they eagerly harness it to the engine of their imaginations."
Andy Grundberg, The New York Times
"Ms. Ewald was one of the first-and remains the most committed-artists to bring photography into the lives of children who have little else."
-Taylor Holliday, The Wall Street Journal
