Sex trafficking is a worldwide problem, raking in profits of roughly $99 billion dollars per year for traffickers. “Object Lessons” was created by Nina Berman to bring awareness to the pervasive problem of sex trafficking in the Capital Region and beyond. The exhibition depicts the evidence used to try and convict sex traffickers, including victims’ clothing and the weapons used to coerce victims into submission.
Nina Berman said she chose “to investigate the physical evidence as a way to communicate the mechanism of control and the underlying motivations of profit and power that drive perpetrators and imprison victims.”
“Object Lessons” premieres on Friday, March 6, with an opening reception at 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm at the library’s Washington Ave. Branch. The photo exhibition will be open during branch hours and run through April 18.

Candidate for the Democratic Party nomination Michael Bloomberg has been under attack from his past actions as mayor of New York City, especially for enforcing the "Stop and Frisk" policy he put in place.
Nina Berman has been documenting NYPD's Stop and Frisk since 2011: "You could spend many nights on neighborhood cop-watch patrols and never see stop-and-frisks, so I looked for other things, too: the anger and outrage and sense of humiliation long after the stop-and-frisk ends. People I met saw stop-and-frisk as part of a broader pattern of police harassment and violence."
