Witness – An Evening of Photography, Storytelling and Song with Tamir Kalifa

$15.00

Photojournalist and musician Tamir Kalifa, is returning to Green Street Photo Collective after putting on a powerful and sold-out show in the studio this past spring.

Witness, a multimedia performance by Tamir, invites audiences into the intimate moments behind the news headlines. Through live projections and music, Tamir weaves his original songs with his images, tracing stories of migration, survival, loss, and hope in a powerful, immersive experience. 

Tamir is an independent photographer and musician based in Austin, Texas. Guided by the belief that compassionate visual storytelling and music can help deepen the understanding of ourselves and one another, he focuses his work on individuals and communities facing major social, political, and environmental challenges. Tamir’s work has been published widely in The New York Times, Texas Monthly, NPR and other outlets, and his intimate documentation of the families in Uvalde after the Robb Elementary School shooting earned him recognition from the Chris Hondros Fund and the American Mosaic Journalism Prize. Tamir also wrote, recorded and performed original music as a member of Mother Falcon, an Austin-based orchestral indie-rock ensemble founded in 2009. His new multimedia performance project, Witness, blends his images with original songs inspired by his experiences behind the camera. 

Tamir’s album, Witness, can be found anywhere music is streamed, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp. 

Doors will open at 6PM, and music will begin at 7PM. Due to limited capacity, tickets are required to attend.

Green Street Photo Collective is located at 186 Green St, Jamaica Plain, MA. Parking is limited in the area. There is street parking nearby, but if possible, we highly recommend taking the MBTA — we’re just steps from the Green Street stop on the Orange Line.
