Does Diaspora — the dispersal of people from their original homeland — always distance people from their culture and their identity, or does it provide them a precious chance to create culture and identity anew? What is the difference between photographs that document culture and identity, and photographs that celebrate culture and identity?
Join us on Wednesday, January 27, at 5:00 PM (PST) as Lois Leveen leads a discussion of photographs by Jasmine Clarke, Widline Cadet, and Nadiya Imani Loyisa Ntlabati Nacorda from our Women of the African Diaspora exhibition, paired with poetry by African Diaspora poets.
REFOCUSING is a Free Salon-From-Anywhere program from Blue Sky Gallery, in which we explore ways to redefine and strengthen community by engaging online with photographs and with each other.
