The Abayudaya Jewish Communities of Uganda

Peter Decherney's recent photographs and films of the Abayudaya Jewish community in Uganda are exhibited, followed by a panel of experts discussing Abayudaya history, religion, and culture. The photographs and films explore the intersection of being African and Jewish. What does it mean to be Jewish in Uganda, connected to Jewish communities in the United States and Israel, and also, increasingly, to the growing Jewish communities across Africa.
