Something about it all is so sacred. I believe my main character in “An Unspoken,” Clara Parker, would have seen this in a dream and felt happy, or could just as easily been haunted by it.

Artist-visitors have been making visual shorthand of the rural region for decades, and they have tended to seek the place’s more derisive scenes: the folded flesh of the obese, the writhing snakes of the Pentecostals, the scabbed injections of addicts. These subjects are there for the finding, but the photographer who focusses only on the sordid or the sensational has an outsider’s narrowness of vision. Harder to capture, and far more revealing, are the mysteries of Appalachia as they appear to Appalachians.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a2bf9f12cea21e6663b96e/1621361117631-V67030S4YE77FWCECN6S/Screen+Shot+2021-05-18+at+2.04.51+PM.png News & Press - RVA MAGAZINE: Using Art to Amplify Voices A feature on my community print work with Studio Two Three in Richmond, Virginia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a2bf9f12cea21e6663b96e/1621361395889-5V9GORKUHT5VK1VFT3UW/Screen+Shot+2021-05-18+at+2.09.23+PM.png News & Press - Story Production for PBS Documentary: The Future of America’s Past I worked as a Story Producer on the first season of the PBS Documentary Series The Future of America’s Past, directed by Hannah Ayers and Lance Warren. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a2bf9f12cea21e6663b96e/1621361660945-KUKPAA8FOPW023SIM2E0/Screen+Shot+2021-05-18+at+2.13.47+PM.png News & Press - Feature Shoot: Serpents, Religion, and Roots A feature on my collaborative project with artist Mark Strandquist, With Signs Following. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a2bf9f12cea21e6663b96e/1621361849902-RL5WHWU8K7PZCFDJBU1O/Screen+Shot+2021-05-18+at+2.15.55+PM.png News & Press - Feature in Richmond Magazine: The Innovators A feature on Studio Two Three’s community print work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a2bf9f12cea21e6663b96e/1621362038677-MYI688TWXZ3VXGOBMJVP/Screen+Shot+2021-05-18+at+2.18.43+PM.png News & Press - Featured in Institute for Contemporary Art: Kutunza Kila Mmoja KUTUNZA KILA MMOJA Taking Care of Each Other, located in the Soul N’ Vinegar café space, celebrates artist Bukuru Nyandwi and the important resources Milk River Arts provides to artists in Richmond.

A quick Google image search of “war on poverty” will yield several photographs of President Johnson on the porch of the Fletcher family home in Inez, Kentucky. Many of the War on Poverty photographs, whether intentional or not, became a visual definition of Appalachia. These images have often drawn from the poorest areas and people to gain support for the intended cause, but unjustly came to represent the entirety of the region while simultaneously perpetuating stereotypes. In an attempt to explore the diversity of Appalachia and establish a visual counter point, this project looks at Appalachia fifty years after the declaration of the War on Poverty. Drawing from a diverse population of photographers within the region, this new crowdsourced image archive will serve as a reference that is defined by its people as opposed to political legislation. https://www.kateelizabethfowler.com/work daily 1.0 2021-05-17 https://www.kateelizabethfowler.com/work/education-2jdrs monthly 0.5 2021-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a2bf9f12cea21e6663b96e/1621354348913-SC3JK4YX6RENS1YPXQ83/tumblr_n81sgracam1qeqv2zo1_1280.jpg Work - Education & Community Work - Media & Literacy Curriculum A media literacy curriculum developed and written for PhotoWings, following a workshop with photographer Wendy Ewald, Kate Fowler and Jenkins Middle & High Schoolers in Eastern Kentucky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a2bf9f12cea21e6663b96e/1621354760245-SFC8HPG7VA5AENTFUZVG/tumblr_inline_nr2orqqpox1r6gwxa_1280.png Work - Education & Community Work - Tactics of Collaboration: A Participatory Playbook Tactics of Collaboration: A Participatory Playbook is a project that seeks to reveal the unseen processes of engagement inherent in collaboration practice. As corporations co-opt the notion of collaboration for their guides on workplace etiquette, and photographers identify the act of making a portrait as a collaborative exchange between author and subject, it becomes harder to envision the true complexity of making work alongside a community.

Ewald visited Letcher Co., Kentucky in the late 1970s and worked with youth to document life as they saw it. The work became the book Portraits & Dreams. The methods she developed in Appalachia she took around the world. In this episode of Mountain Talk Monday, Ewald and hosts discuss a variety of topics including how Ewald and her students made the photos, who can tell the story of a place… who has the right, and what is similar across cultures when we view them through the eyes of children. https://www.kateelizabethfowler.com/work/writing-b9jrx monthly 0.5 2021-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60a2bf9f12cea21e6663b96e/1621279360736-WNGOU1DT30XDEH5OIVU2/Screen+Shot+2021-05-17+at+3.22.10+PM.png Work -
