PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WJAR) — Providence City Hall is displaying the work of two photographers as they honor the stories of their elders. The "Yeay, Yai: Ode to Grandmothers" exhibit is on display inside Providence City Hall. It's a display that honors the Southeast Asian grandmothers of photographers Kannetha Brown and Tarik Bartel. "We don't often see narratives about older women in the history of photography," said Brown. "So we thought it would be interesting to empower our ancestors, gather the community, and celebrate the women who make us the people who we are today."
