Somali Elders: Portraits From Wales
'Photography often shows us things - people, places, faces, everyday life - we had failed to notice before. Through humanist, empathetic portraits of older Somali men, ‘Somali Elders’ seeks to open eyes - to confront stereotypes and misrepresentations. I hope the faces and experiences featured in this exhibition will be a source of education, inspiration and pride' (Glenn Jordan, 2007).
Glenn Jordan’s ‘Somali Elders’ series of portraits, with accompanying texts, was exhibited at FOMACS in March 2007.
