JOAN ROTH PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT:
Joan
Roth, a long time supporter and friend to Project Kesher, is
an internationally renowned and award-winning photographer whose
work has been published and exhibited throughout the world.
Her passion lies in visually conveying the grandeur of ordinary
women. Roth traveled worldwide to publish Jewish Women: A World
of Tradition and Change, the first book about Jewish women -
including cultures such as Ethiopia, India, and Yemen - by a
Jewish woman photographer. She also photographed women in Baltimore
and Seattle for the Jewish Women's Archive's oral history project,
Weaving Women's Words.
Roth's most recent body of work illustrates the collective
voices of the women that make Project Kesher's grassroots work
and the rebirth of Jewish life in the CIS so powerful. The photographs
document women, who through the efforts of Project Kesher, have
taken on social activism and human rights advocacy leadership
roles in their communities including breast cancer and domestic
violence awareness as well been engaged in Jewish learning.
In Appreciation: The Joan Roth photo exhibit has been made
possible through the generous support of the Reba Judith Sandler
Foundation.
Project Kesher thanks our friends Joan Roth and Hebrew Union
College for generously partnering with us in this exhibit and
for all the guidance and support their staff has provided.
This exhibit will be traveling. Please stay tuned for more information.
