Fault Lines: Photography from JO Magazine
The
exhibit Fault Lines comprises a collection of photographs
taken from JO magazine over its six-and-a-half year history.
The photographs illustrate the diversity of Jordan and its
many different subcultures. In addition to having a major
geological fault running along its western border, Jordan
is a nation fractured by many other, less corporeal fault
lines. It’s a site of many different physical landscapes,
both natural and man-made, in which exist numerous cultures
and subcultures based on ethnicity, language, levels of economic
development and value systems. All the images come directly
from the magazine and are divided into three categories: ‘gendered
spaces’, ‘on the margins’, and ‘active faults’. The images
represent work that has been done by a large number of different
photographers, including JO staff, and freelancers both local
and foreign.
