Tonight, I’m head to Baltimore for the opening of the incredible Martha Cooper’s latest exhibition, Sowebo/Soweto. A friend to everyone, Cooper has photographed locals in the “South West Baltimore” (Sowebo) area of her hometown, and paired them with images from her travels to Southwest Township (Soweto) in South Africa. The resulting captivating images show how we are all the same, but also show the ease of people from different cultures when being photographed by Cooper.

Opening Reception: Wednesday, Feb 4th @ 7PM
