The Falmouth Jewish Congregation invites the public to an opening reception for the photography exhibit, “Trans(formation): A Collaborative Portrait Series Exploring Gender Identity on Cape Cod,” featuring the work of Julia Cumes. Created through a collaborative process between photographer and subject, each portrait and caption in the collection tells the unique story of its subject’s journey. The exhibit, on view through the end of July, confronts viewers with the power and diversity of human gender identity and asks them to reexamine their assumptions.

Cumes will speak at the reception, Thursday, June 19, from 6 to 7:30 PM. Light refreshments will be served.
