“Just as Phil Borges’ photographic and video exhibition, “Stirring the Fire,” is a deeply inspirational document of a global movement to empower women and girls, so too is its creator an inspirational person, whose energy, eloquence, and transformational perspective galvanize audiences in support of a movement that he has done so much to advance. I have always been amazed by Phil’s ability to motivate people from a diversity of backgrounds to heed his call to action on behalf of cross-cultural understanding. “Stirring the Fire,” the perfect title for his exhibition, is an equally apt description of Phil’s ability to captivate audiences.”
