"The New Orleans Photo Alliance presents IDENTITY, an exhibit of contemporary photographic portraiture exploring photography's role in illuminating and defining the persistence and evolution of personal and social identity. The 22 artists represented in IDENTITY invite the viewer to consider the photographic artifact as evidence of life and to reconsider his or her own identity; what it means to be alive in our age, in this place, in our skin on this very day. IDENTITY was juried by Deborah Luster, a highly acclaimed portrait artist who published a book entitled "One Big Self prisoners of Louisiana."
The exhibition will run from October 6th to November 24th with support from the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation.
