Description: Voices of American Farm Women, an exhibition of photography and oral history interviews conducted by photographer Cynthia Vagnetti, is on display from October 20, 2008 to November 30, 2008, at the Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney, NE.
The 30 striking black-and-white photographs included in this interactive exhibition explore a diverse group of women and their relationship to the land, providing a dynamic contemporary perspective on women in agriculture. Vagnetti has documented women from across the U.S. whose alternative farming techniques promote environmental responsibility, economic stability, and community well-being. Excerpts of oral history interviews conducted with the subjects of Vagnetti's work narrate a multifaceted view of work, family, and community. Strong opinions on many topics-including farm work, childcare, and housework-dispel misconceptions about farm women.
Voices of American Farm Women is part of a larger documentary project conducted by Vagnetti, who has a long-standing commitment to sustainable agriculture, rural communities, and related issues. She has produced numerous multimedia projects and photography exhibitions, and she is co-author of People Sustaining the Land.

Sponsor: Center for Rural Research & Development and UNK Women's Studies
Contact Person: Deb Murray, 865-8199
Description: Third graders in all the schools located in Central Nebraska are invited to attend this day of focusing on Rural Entrepreneurship. There will be demonstrations of local rural artisans using resources found on farms. Interactive activities focused on entrepreneurial activities in rural America will be featured.
Voices of American Farm Women, an exhibition of photography and oral history interviews conducted by photographer Cynthia Vagnetti, is on display from October 20, 2008 to November 30, 2008, at the Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney, NE.
The 30 striking black-and-white photographs included in this interactive exhibition explore a diverse group of women and their relationship to the land, providing a dynamic contemporary perspective on women in agriculture. Vagnetti has documented women from across the U.S. whose alternative farming techniques promote environmental responsibility, economic stability, and community well-being. Excerpts of oral history interviews conducted with the subjects of Vagnetti's work narrate a multifaceted view of work, family, and community. Strong opinions on many topics-including farm work, childcare, and housework-dispel misconceptions about farm women.
Voices of American Farm Women is part of a larger documentary project conducted by Vagnetti, who has a long-standing commitment to sustainable agriculture, rural communities, and related issues. She has produced numerous multimedia projects and photography exhibitions, and she is co-author of People Sustaining the Land. Her work in the past decade is inspired by the work of Farm Security Administration photographers, most notably Dorothea Lange and Russell Lee.
