Ed Kashi is a renowned photojournalist, filmmaker, speaker, and educator who has been making images and telling stories for 40 years. His restless creativity has continually placed him at the forefront of new approaches to visual storytelling. Dedicated to documenting the social and political issues that define our times, a sensitive eye and an intimate and compassionate relationship with his subjects are signatures of his intense and unsparing work. As a member of VII Photo, Kashi has been recognized for his complex imagery and its compelling rendering of the human condition.

Along with numerous journalism and photography awards and commissions, Kashi’s images have been published and exhibited worldwide. His photographs are in the collections of a number of major museums, including the George Eastman House, the International Center of Photography, the Museum of the City of New York, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and the New Orleans Museum of Art. His editorial assignments and personal projects have generated fourteen books.

Kashi is also a noted teacher, running photography workshops and master classes across the world. He will be offering a master workshop through the Yard School of Art beginning on April 7.

This exhibition, consisting of 29 photographs, is organized by MAM’s Executive Director, Ira Wagner.
