The Shaker Historical Society is thrilled to feature photographer Daniel Lozada in “Waves,” our first Lissauer Gallery exhibition of 2023. From Daniel: ‘Waves’ is a feeling. Feelings of being moved by people I’ve used a camera to observe while I was out in a densely populated outdoor space – Edgewater State Park. Many themes that arose while photographing the shores of Lake Erie were Black and Brown Fatherhood, child-like joys, introspection, and seniors post retirement. During my time in this ongoing project, I think of the public space as one big body of water. As I’m moving through this water, people create waves that come through as a feeling of some kind of emotion I want to photograph. Hopefully, these images stir waves within you, the viewer.

Join us for light refreshments during the free exhibit opening on Friday, February 17 from 6-8pm. “Waves” opens in the second floor Lissauer Gallery in conjunction with “Letters to My Father” on the first floor. “Waves” by Daniel Lozada will be on view through May 7, 2023 and is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
