Press Release:

Out of Many: Stories of Migration, organized by photographer Brian Cohen and produced by a collaboration of professional photographers based in Pittsburgh, documents the experiences of multiple generations of immigrants and their descendants in Pittsburgh. Out of Many, on view at the JCC's American Jewish Museum, accentuates the key role that immigration has played in this corner of the world, including shaping our neighborhoods, the formation of our identity, in sustaining our economy, and in the enrichment of our cultural diversity. Comprised entirely of new work, Out of Many considers Pittsburgh’s stories as a lens through which to consider the broader American immigrant experience.

Anna Divinsky’s University of Pittsburgh Drawing Studio 2 class created self-portraits that have been included in the exhibition. Adding powerful first-person narrative and creative nuance to the exhibition, the self-portraits consider identity, our unique cultural and family histories in shaping self-hood, and the physical, social and biological variables that shape and inform our identity.
