Over the summer and fall of 2023, indiVISIBLE Co-Directors Alfonso Herrera-Neal and Lindy Whiton, assisted by team members Clara Witty and Elias Neijens, documented through interviews and photography the stories of individuals who are indispensable in our farm-to-table food chain.
The stories highlight the skills involved in agricultural work, and the skills that many migrant and immigrant workers bring with them, but also the difficulties of being separated from family members who stay in their home countries. Herrera-Neal’s black and white photos and Whiton’s color photos capture the landscapes and details of their lives in the fields and orchards of Western Massachusetts.
The project will be on display through September in LAVA’s Humanities Gallery.
indiVISIBLE is funded by Mass Humanities, Greening Greenfield and the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice.
