Visit the Portrait Identity Project Exhibition
Jewish Life at Duke is thrilled to invite you to visit our Portrait Identity Project gallery. This social documentary project pairs personal stories with professional portraits; it celebrates the many ways to be Jewish, challenges stereotypes, and encourages viewers to reconsider what it looks like to be a young Jewish adult today. The exhibit will be on display at the Freeman Center for Jewish Life Sanctuary from April 23 through May 30, in honor of Jewish American Heritage Month.
