Zachary Balber: Tamim
Nov. 20th through March of 2020
The opening reception is Nov. 20 at 7:00 p.m.at the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU in South Beach
Zachary Balber uses portrait photography to uncover the camouflaged identity of some of Judaism’s most unconventional Jews, in his series Tamim. The photographer, a rising star in Miami's art scene who is fast gaining national acclaim, is Jewish himself and connected strongly with the men he photographed. Through this series, he re-connected with his own heritage. This is the first time these photographs have been exhibited in full color, some are new and have never been shown.
