Smart Bets: Breast Cancer Journeys — Women’s Stories

In honor of National Cancer Control Month, 17 area women who have had breast cancer, or are related to someone who has, are sharing their stories in an exhibit.

Breast Cancer Journeys: Women’s Stories opened April 4 at the First Congregational United Church of Christ’s gallery in downtown Asheville.

“It has been a wonderful experience working with all of these women and listening to their stories,” says event organizer Suzanne Ziglar in a press release. “It has been especially gratifying to hear them say that the experience enabled them to have conversations that they had not had before.”

The art installation features torsos that the women have collaged, alongside their stories from diagnosis to the present. The works will be displayed in the gallery through Wednesday, April 30. Free to attend. avl.mx/ep8

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
