Eastern Shore of Maryland resident and former New York fashion photographer Anne Nielsen unveils her stunning portraiture of Eastern Shore Native Americans at Ker Place. “Catching Shadows” features tintype portraits and recorded voices of Native Americans living on the Eastern Shore in the 21st century. Taken between 2009-2010 by Ann Nielsen, these remarkable images aim to shed light on a marginalized community and document their modern lives through imagery.

Join us in hearing the story of Anne’s breathtaking work and welcome Accohannock tribal members seen in the images to learn more about their heritage, traditions, and culture June 22nd at 6pm in the garden of Ker Place, weather permitting. For questions, call (757) 787-8012 or email marketing@shorehistory.org.

Tickets are $10 for members (membership is gifted with a donation of $50 within the last year) and $15 for not yet members. The portraits will be on exhibit at Ker Place through September.
