Meet the presenters of SPE’s 2027 Annual Conference! We’re excited to introduce Jason Langer, presenting “Subrosa & the Cult of Aphrodite” “Subrosa & the Cult of Aphrodite is Jason Langer’s five-year documentary project, to be released as a book and exhibition in 2026, exploring a diverse community of performers in Portland, Oregon. Developed in partnership with the performers, it combines photographic portraiture with first-person narratives and representations that reveal how the performers wish to be seen as their inner selves.” About the Presenter Photographer Jason Langer (b. 1967, Tucson, Arizona) creates long-term photo projects exploring religion, spirituality, and social structures through a place-based approach. Raised Jewish and shaped by an Israeli kibbutz childhood, his work references Buddhist philosophy and how belief systems shape human experience. Books include Secret City (2006), Possession (2013), Twenty Years (2015), Berlin (2022), and Subrosa & the Cult of Aphrodite (2026), which explores Portland performers through portraiture and interviews. He has been a professional photographer and educator for over three decades, exhibited internationally Join us at the 2027 SPE Annual Conference to hear Jason explore portraiture, performance, identity, community, and the role of socially engaged photographic practice in contemporary visual storytelling.
