"Shining Like the Sun" - an exhibit of photographs by Jay Keywood. At Sojourn Arts, Sojourn Church Midtown in Louisville, KY. from November 25, 2018 - January 6, 2019.
In 1958, Thomas Merton stood at the corner of 4th and Muhammad Ali (then called Walnut St.) and had a revelatory experience. Now, roughly 60 years later, Jay Keywood has looked at the people walking the streets surrounding this corner and invited us to also look. How will we see these total strangers in all their variety of glory, skepticism, struggle, and sweetness? Can we see the way Merton saw?
