7:00PM - 10:00PM
Sixth & I Historic Synagogue

Opening reception for “Soul Cages” by Joshua Cogan
Hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, and music. Free event.
Please RSVP to jleventhal@sixthandi.org

“Soul Cages” is a collected series of portraits from recent projects that pursue the ineffable nature of culture through visual medium. Using the camera as a tool of visual ethnography, Joshua Cogan combines the richness of travel photography with the investigative roots of anthropology. The results are wonderfully rich environmental portraits ranging from indigenous groups of East Africa to HIV victims in Jamaica’s slums, to hip hop stars right here in DC.

In addition, a smaller collection of works showcasing Cogan’s ongoing coverage of the Jewish Diaspora, “Am Olam” (people of the world), will showcase recent works from India and Ethiopia and will be presented alongside “Soul Cages”. The “Am Olam” project aims primarily at exploring the unknown diversity of the Jewish people by examining the history, traditions and identity of old and new Diasporic communities.
