Thu 5 Jan. Distant Relations: A Family History by Lori Grinker An exploration of the dispersal of a single family—originally from western Lithuania—throughout the world, Distant Relations tells the story of diaspora through the stunning works of acclaimed photographer Lori Grinker. Combined with interviews, archival material, and text written by cultural anthropologist Roy Richard Grinker, this very intimate, yet ultimately universal work reflects the key aspects of diaspora as experienced by many families of differing origins and histories, the complex relationship between immigrants and their homelands, religious change, and multiculturalism. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On View November 18-January 5 Exbgri00F2 F. 334 Amsterdam Avenue, New York. 646-505-5708.
