Opening Friday July 31, the 930 is hosting two concurrent exhibits with international themes. “Ethiopia” is an exhibit of photos, video, and Ethiopian folk paintings exploring Ethiopian culture through the eyes of two traveling Louisvillians, photographer Jason Crigler and videographer Drew Layman. “Recognize” is an exhibit of photographs and texts made by refugee teenagers, organized through the local Arcadia Community Center.
In the Ethiopia exhibit, Jason Crigler’s photographs make up most of the show. His photographs show a mostly rural Ethiopia, where traditions have remained strong through generations. Farmers plow with oxen and coffee is roasted over fires in small batches. Clothing is washed by hand in streams and made from homespun cloth.
