Remembering America - Jeff Dunas on Life and the Blues

In partnership with the Amerikahaus in Munich, Germany, Over Here, Over There's Claudia Koestler explores the profound insights of renowned photographer Jeff Dunas, in his latest exhibition, capturing the essence of smalltown America and blues legends. Discover how his long-term projects reveal cultural identity, the power of photography, and the enduring legacy of blues music.At times when politics so often drives a wedge between people — and especially across the transatlantic relationship — Dunas's insight and artistry offer something rare: a look at the America we all carry in our hearts.Dunas's work looks past ideology. His lens turns instead toward the human side of America: through it, the diners, dusty roads, and soulful portraits of Blues legends become not symbols of division but echoes of home, no matter which side of the Atlantic we stand on. His images remind us that beyond politics and noise, there’s still a universal language in the light, faces, and rhythms of everyday life — the America of the heart, not headlines.📍 Visiting Munich?See Jeff Dunas’ exhibition “Smalltown America” and “Blues Legends” at Amerikahaus through July 31, 2026.More at AMERIKAHAUS.DEFor more information on Jeff Dunas's work, please see https://www.dunas.com/.A special thanks to the Amerikahaus Munich, which provides thought-provoking and engaging events throughout the year.Please see our website at Over Here, Over There , and please don't forget to like, subscribe, share, and comment on this and other episodes.
