Cohort – San Francisco, CA with Ed Kashi

The San Francisco cohort of Timeline, led by renowned visual storyteller Ed Kashi, invites photographers to document a city defined by innovation, activism, and rapid change. Participants will explore the Bay Area’s shifting cultural, social, and economic landscapes, contributing real-time images that reflect both the dynamism and tension of the region. Under Kashi’s guidance, the cohort will create a powerful body of work that captures San Francisco’s complexities and contradictions—building a vital chapter of the national Timeline archive and offering a multiplicity of perspectives on a city continually remaking itself.

Ed Kashi is an internationally recognized photojournalist, filmmaker, and educator who has been making images and telling stories for more than 45 years. His restless creativity has continually placed him at the forefront of new approaches to visual storytelling. Dedicated to documenting the social and political issues that define our times, a sensitive eye and an intimate and compassionate relationship to his subjects are signatures of his intense and unsparing work. As a contributing photographer to the VII Foundation, Kashi has been recognized for his complex imagery and its compelling rendering of the human condition.

Kashi’s innovative approach to photography and filmmaking has produced several influential short films and earned recognition by the POYi Awards as 2015’s Multimedia Photographer of the Year, UNICEF’s Photo of the Year 2010, and a Prix Pictet 2010 Commission. Kashi’s embrace of technology has led to photo essays, short documentary films, and creative social media projects for clients including National Geographic, The New Yorker, Time, Geo and MSNBC. From implementing a unique approach to photography and filmmaking in his 2006 Iraqi Kurdistan Flipbook, to revolutionary Instagram coverage of Hurricane Sandy for TIME in 2012, Kashi continues to create compelling imagery and engage with the world in new ways.

Along with numerous awards from World Press Photo, POYi, CommArts and American Photography, Kashi’s images have been published and exhibited worldwide. His editorial assignments and personal projects have generated sixteen books, with his newest book, A Period In Time, a retrospective that covers the first 45 years of his career.

In 2002, Kashi in partnership with his wife, writer + filmmaker Julie Winokur, founded Talking Eyes Media. The non-profit company has produced numerous award-winning short films, exhibits, books, and multimedia pieces that explore significant social issues.
