In Search of America: Artist Talk with David Robert Farmerie

America is a deeply divided country. People seem angry, fearful and mistrustful. They inhabit a house divided that is certain to fall. Or do they? The photojournalist David Robert Farmerie recently went on a quest to answer this question. 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. In this Artist Talk, Farmerie will recount his remarkable journey. He will also discuss the continuation of his In Search of America project, which will culminate with a 2025 photo exhibition at The MACC’s Papillon Gallery.
