release date April 4, 2023
Episode No. 1 of the Art Throb Podcast features photographer Jon Kolkin and the Shades of Compassion photography exhibition at The Headley-Whitney Museum, Lexington, KY. April 8 - June 18, 2023.
Jon Kolkin is a physician, an international medical volunteer, an award-winning author, an Integrated Medicine Health Coach, and an internationally recognized photographer. Through his set of life experiences he is uniquely qualified to share universally relevant, practical, science-based strategies for living a more balanced, compassionate life whilst simultaneously maintaining one’s physical and emotional health.
The Headley-Whitney Museum is presenting the world premiere of “Shades of Compassion” a travelling photography exhibition of 50 curated works by 41 artists from all over the world and sponsored by The Shades of Compassion Foundation, which was founded by Jon Kolkin. Each image in the show is a fine art response to one of three identified elements of compassion – humanity, environment and spirituality.
In this episode I talk with Jon Kolkin about the work in this exhibition; his life-changing meeting with the Dali Lama; his new book INNER HARMONY: Living in Balance - a collection of thoughts and photographs that offer rare images of Buddhist life; and how he uses his camera as a tool to capture stories that identify poignant moments of kindness and compassion.
Exhibition Dates: April 8 – June 18
Museum Hours: Friday, Saturday, Sunday 10am – 4pm
