Farming Families exhibition at Newlyn art Gallery

15/12/07

Farming Families is a year-long participatory digital arts project telling stories from the lives of families who farm West Cornwall.

Unique as the land that surrounds it, this exhibition is a seasonal journey of a rural community. Using moving and still images, new technology, storytelling, personal objects, it fuses the facts of agricultural life with the families' creativity and insight to explore issues of work, community and cultural identity.

Farming Families is a project which invites you to respond to the issues faced in farming today, and to experience the sights, sounds, thoughts and feelings of farming life on a new level.

The show is created by Roz and Jim Nixon of Trewoof Wartha, Monica and Roy Olds of Mulfra Farm, Deryck and David Eddy of Boleigh Farm in collaboration with film-maker Barbara Santi.
