March 30, 2001 — An unusual traveling postcard exhibit, part of a multifaceted documentary project featuring twelve community initiatives across the country, opens April 2, at Colorado Center for the Book, 2123 Downing St., in Denver (303-839-8320). The exhibit, which will distribute up to three million free postcards during its two-year American tour, runs through May 17.

The national documentary project "Indivisible: Stories of American Community" features original photographs and narrative voices from 12 diverse communities where people are addressing salient local issues and creating positive change providing a look at volunteer crime patrols among the Haitian community in Delray Beach, Fla.; migrant farmworkers in San Juan, Texas, learning to finance and build their own homes and residents in the Yaak Valley, Mont., who have formed a coalition of loggers, conservationists and others to promote preservation and sustainable use of the forest. In North Philadelphia, "Indivisible" profiles residents of the Village of Arts and Humanities, who have converted abandoned properties to art parks, community gardens and low-income housing, and the project visited Navajo Nation and North Carolina mountain communities, where people are finding ways to draw upon their heritage for the economic and cultural survival of their people.

"Indivisible" has an extensive website at www.indivisible.org. All components of "Indivisible" feature the work of 22 leading photographers and interviewers who were asked to record and interpret 12 communities across the country where people are working together.
