Five years ago, the photojournalist David Robert Farmerie went on a quest to answer an urgent question: is America a hopelessly divided country? Traveling more than 300,000 miles, he met with and photographed ordinary Americans leading extraordinary lives. He found that there were indeed divisions. But he also learned that we have more in common than not, encouraging news on the eve of a pivotal election.
In this MACC Talk podcast, Farmerie recounts his remarkable journey. He also discusses the continuation of his In Search of America project, which will culminate with a 2025 photo exhibition at The MACC’s Papillon Gallery. The podcast is sponsored by Matters of the Heart Counseling.
