Join us for the Opening Reception for our FotoFocus 2024 exhibition, which will be on view at The Welcome Project Oct. 5 - November 9th.

5:30 - until food runs out, Cincy Table Dinner

6:30 - 7:30 Panel Talk featuring all of the artists and curator

This special occasion will feature a gathering of artists and art enthusiasts, celebrating the profound exploration of spiritual heritage through the lens of BIPOC photographers from across the Americas.

• A meal prepared by the Indigenous Chef 

Some of the participating artists will attend a panel discussion to speak about their work, sharing insights into their creative processes and the themes they explore. For those artists across the world who are unable to attend in person, we will showcase pre-recorded videos where they discuss their inspirations and the cultural contexts of their pieces. 

Following these presentations, there will be a Q&A session, providing an opportunity for guests to engage directly with the artists, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the powerful messages conveyed through their photography.

This opening “dinner” event is more than just a celebration of art; it is a platform for meaningful dialogue, cultural exchange, and a deeper appreciation of the diverse perspectives and experiences represented in "Defend the Sacred." Join us in honoring the artists and their work, and in supporting the preservation and celebration of Indigenous cultures.
