Iris BookCafé has extended its current photography exhibition, Ji Hyun Kwon: The Guilty, through Feb. 12. Ji Hyun Kwon, a young Korean woman, began this series to “reconcile her own sense of guilt and selfishness for being an artist while the rest of the world continues in persistent suffering,” according to curator William Messer. She then went on to explore how those from other ethnic and cultural backgrounds wear their senses of guilt. She asked her subjects to express this guilt in writing and then transferred it to their faces in portraits. The show also separately provides their complete statements.
Through Feb. 12. Free. 1331 Main St., Over-the-Rhine, irisbookcafe.com.
