Jim Lommasson – What We Carried: Fragments from the Cradle of Civilization

A Portland Art Museum Photography Council’s Brown Bag Lunch Series talk:

Location: Portland Art Museum, Fields Ballroom
Dates: Wednesday, April 18th
Time of talk: Noon- 1pm, free and open to the public

What We Carried: Fragments from the Cradle of Civilization reveals the stories of refugees fleeing the Iraq and Syrian wars through the objects they brought with them to the United States. Lommasson photographs these precious items – family snapshots, an archeology book, heirloom china dishes, the Quran – on a white background, asking their owners to write directly within the open space left in the prints and elaborate upon each object’s significance. The resulting images are as beautiful as they are heartbreaking, providing viewers with only a small glimpse of what each person has lost while serving as a poignant reminder that, as Jim asserts, “We must take responsibility for the aftermath of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as at home.”  – Zemie Barr, Oregon Center for the Photographic Arts
