The first major public presentation of an ongoing photographic and community-engaged project that emerged in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene’s historic flooding of Marshall. Large-scale photographs alongside writings contributed by more than 150 members of the local community. Created during the first months of recovery, the photographs focus not on the destruction itself but on what the flood left behind: traces of silt, rust, mud, and altered surfaces throughout downtown Marshall. On display through November 14
Wednesday, September 16: Film Screening My Journey into Bhutan and Nepal by Kris Cassidy, Two twenty-minute films of his recent pilgrimage to Bhutan and Nepal. The films focus on the sacred sites, temples, monasteries and mountains in both countries interspersed with depictions of the landscapes, the culture and daily life
