he focus of the program will be Appalachian culture and history as it relates to our area. Barnwell will share photographs and stories of meeting folks from western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee who are involved with traditional farm life, crafts, and music. Using images of people and places made over the past 35 years from his three Appalachian-themed books, The Face of Appalachia: Portraits from the Mountain Farm, On Earth’s Furrowed Brow: The Appalachian Farm in Photographs, and Hands in Harmony: Traditional Crafts and Music in Appalachia, the program will depict scenes of daily life such as farming, hunting, religious activities, people working with oxen and horses, making traditional crafts, and playing old-time music.
