We are water | We are earth | We are sky at Oakland Photo Workshop

My photograph, Before you knew where to look, is included in the exhibition We are water | We are earth | We are sky at the Oakland Photo Workshop.

We are water | We are earth | We are sky, the East Bay Photo Collective’s annual members’ exhibition, celebrates humanity’s interconnection with nature. In our increasingly digitized lives it can be easy to forget that we remain physical animals, tied to a physical body that is made up of natural elements. EBPCO members have explored this theme in many directions, finding both personal and universal interpretations.

The exhibition runs from December 8, 2023 through February 4, 2024, with an opening reception on Friday, December 8, from 6:00 - 9:00 p.m.

The Oakland Photo Workshop is located at 312 8th Street, Oakland, CA, 94607, and can be reached by phone at (510) 922-8476. Gallery hours are Fridays and Saturdays from noon - 6:00 p.m., and Sundays from noon - 3:00 p.m.

The show was curated by Amanda Bensel, an international development professional, documentary photographer, and filmmaker whose work supports leadership development, climate action, women’s rights, and social enterprise across Asia.
