Diana Greene makes multimedia stories that explore our sense of identity, place and memory. Chip Bristol is a Chaplain at Prodigals Community looking for ways to blend the creative with the spiritual in the context of twelve-step living, his writing, and painting. The traveling exhibit Finding Home: Portraits of Courage brought them together to empower the men recovering from addiction at Prodigals Community to share their decisions to live clean and sober lives.
The exhibition opens on July 8th, at 5:30 pm and will be open until September 30th. There will be a free reception at the Winston-Salem Central Library on August 28th from 5:30-7:00 p.m.
Here is an example of what you'll see in the exhibition, Finding Home: Portraits of Courage. This essay is by Victor whose picture is below.

I wanted what everyone else had - the popularity and friends - and because of that I found myself changing all the time, being the chameleon, because I felt I didn't fit in. That's why I eventually did drugs. They made me feel like I belonged, a part of. Drugs opened that door.
