Will the Circle Be Unbroken with Jesse Barber

Join us via Zoom Wednesday, November 2nd, at 7 pm ET

This week will be speaking with Appalachian photographer Jesse Barber about cultural and familial cycles that influence and impact who we are and how we see and respond to the world. For Jesse, listening is central to his photographic practice. Through photography, listening becomes an act of love that allows him to explore deeper questions with empathy and compassion. During this conversation, we will be exploring how photography can help us embrace and transform our past, present, and future and the impact that has on who we are and who we become.

Jesse Barber is a documentary photographer based in the Appalachian region of North Carolina. His work focuses on rural communities and the influence of traditional values, such as those related to labor and religion, on the culture of these communities. Growing up in the rural South, Barber is passionate about using photography to bridge gaps, awaken new perspectives, and expand our understanding of community.
