Darkness and light: breast cancer survivors honored

Photographer Susan Buzzi has spent eight years documenting hundreds of breast cancer survivors.

Her photographs will be part of two shows opening in October as part of breast cancer awareness month.

The first is a joint exhibit with Michael Colanero — 2 Photographers … 100 Stories — that will open Friday night at Uncommon Gallery, 2713 E. Commercial Blvd., Fort Lauderdale. Colanero, who owns the gallery, has spent five years on body painting to raise awareness of breast cancer. Gallery hours are 6 to 10 p.m.; the show will remain through October.

Buzzi’s photography also will be displayed Oct. 10 at Art Frenzies, 2151 Wilton Dr., Wilton Manors. The solo show will tell the story of of Bernadette Zizzo, Art Frenzies’ co-proprietor and a breast cancer survivor, among other breast cancer survivors. The exhibit runs from 6 to 9 p.m. in October.
