Nearly half of humanity – Jews, Christians, and Muslims – claim the same spiritual ancestor, Abraham. Families of Abraham invites visitors to explore what these faiths have in common through a photographic narrative.
Led by project director and curator Eleanor Brawley, a team of eight North Carolina photographers followed eleven different Jewish, Christian and Muslim families from the Charlotte area for a year, documenting daily life and faith practices. They captured Holy Days across the three religions, as well as family milestones and moments from the families’ every day lives.
