ZOOM RECORDING: Isaac Jeffreys: Hidden Mid Century – Capturing The Borscht Belt at Night
Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at 8:00 pm: Join Isaac Jeffreys as he explores the intersection of history, memory, and transformation through photography. A Hudson Valley native and Parsons BFA graduate, Jeffries is drawn to 20th-century spaces—most notably the Mid-century modern ‘Borscht Belt’ resorts of the Catskills. Shooting entirely on film, he lights up long-abandoned buildings after dark, using carefully staged scenes and long exposures to reanimate places left without power—or presence. Watch Video
