Photo exhibit highlights efforts to shut down Vermont Yankee

BRATTLEBORO — “Taking Power: Photographs from the People's Movement to Shut Down Vermont Yankee” opens from 5:30 to 8 p.m. during Gallery Walk on Sept. 6.

The show, representing three outstanding photographers' work, is hosted for September and October by the Elliot Street Café.

At the opening, the photographers and the event's sponsor, the Safe and Green Campaign, will discuss the context of the photos and activists' ongoing struggle to close Vermont Yankee. Refreshments will be served.

The artists are Cate Woolner of Northfield, Mass., a landscape and social-commentary photographer; Lionel Delevingne, a French photojournalist who settled in the United States in 1975; and David Shaw, a photojournalist from Dummerston who's worked as a cinematographer for more than 20 years.

Shaw has been documenting Vermont's grassroots efforts to close the aging Vermont Yankee for the past 10 years.
