Seattle photographer Jacqueline “Jackie” Oh recounts her transformative journey to Mongolia with filmmaker Timothy Allen, where she documented the migration of eagle hunters, an experience that bolstered her confidence in sharing her work. She is among eight female photographers showcased in the exhibit "The Light & Shade That Made My Name," which honors BIPOC women in photography. Curator Mary Adams notes that the title of the exhibit, inspired by a Duran Duran song, symbolizes the complexities of identity that shape the artists' work. Lynnwood Event Center Executive Director Janet Pope emphasizes the need for diverse voices in the art world, highlighting the unique perspectives these women bring. Tasha Goodwin and Magda Barco share their personal stories of inspiration, illustrating the emotional depth that informs their photography.

Goodwin's work captures poignant moments with her niece, while Barco honors her family's legacy through her "Cultura" series. This exhibition not only celebrates artistic talent but also advocates for representation within the photography community. The event serves as a reminder of the power of art to connect and inspire.
