VFC Exhibits :: Invisible Odysseys
From February 3 – April 27, 2012 the Vision & Voice Documentary Workspace of the Vermont Folklife Center will host Invisible Odysseys.
Invisible Odysseys was conceived by B. Amore, artist and writer, and implemented in conjunction with Susannah McCandless, geographer, and Ethan Mitchell, independent scholar. These individuals brought paints, mixed media materials and wooden boxes to Mexican farm workers in Addison County, Vermont to create this project. The result is 14 autobiographical dioramas in which the artists (farmworkers) express their journeys from Mexico to Vermont and their lives as undocumented workers in a foreign community.

VFC Exhibits :: Learning with the Land
In partnership with the Willowell Foundation the Vermont Folklife Center will host the exhibit Learning with the Land from January 5 - January 28, 2012 at our headquarters in Middlebury.
The exhibit features four innovative place-based educational models: the Walden Project, an alternative outdoor public high school program based in Vergennes and Monkton; EarthWalk Vermont, a nature-based youth mentoring program in Plainfield; the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, a leadership and conservation program; and Salad Days, the farm to school program at Monkton Central School.
Student artwork and writing will tell the story of how these Vermont educational programs are working to build youth self-confidence, community engagement, and environmental stewardship, and changing our mental image of the classroom space.
