Refocusing: a Free Salon-From-Anywhere ~ January 2021

  • Blue Sky Gallery 122 Northwest 8th Avenue Portland, OR, 97209 United States (map)

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.
