Dorothea Lange: A Slice of Rural Oregon - Wednesday, October 13, 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Join us for an opening reception for the new exhibit "Images of Oregon's Depression: The Crash, Recovery, and Revitalization of the West." The reception will begin at 7 p.m., complete with light food and drink. The lecture will begin after the reception, and will run from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission will present a presentation of 48 images of rural Oregon during the Great Depression, taken by legendary documentary photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939 as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration, a new Deal agency dedicated to assisting small farmers, tenants, and agricultural laborers. OCHC presenters David Milholland, David A. Horowitz, and Gloria E. Myers will accompany the images with dramatic readings of the captions and field notes Lange compiled during her Oregon visits.
Don't miss this great opportunity to relive a time not so unlike our own through poignant imagery and a compelling presentation!
