The Stories We Tell


  • Oakland Photo Workshop 312 8th Street Oakland, CA, 94607 United States (map)

An exhibition exploring how family stories and oral histories are preserved, passed down, and shared by our elders. How do we know who we are or where we're headed, if we don't know how we got here? These photographic artists explore themes of identity, history and self actualization through family archives, documents, memories and personal photographs to help retell the stories of their elders and their connections to them. It is through the stories we inherit that help us understand who we are and the journey it took to stand where we are. We are the extension of those who came before us. These are the stories we share.

Featured Artists: Gene Dominique, Jessica Chen, Laura Ming Wong, Matthew Hoang, Najee Tobin, Ngân Vũ, Senny Mau, and Stella Kalaw
