Between the Bottomlands & the World
The College of the Redwoods Creative Arts Gallery presents Between the Bottomlands & the World, an installation of experimental documentary videos, photographs, and narrative writing about Beardstown, Illinois, a rural town transformed by immigration and global agricultural production. The exhibition runs from September 3 to October 3, 2019, with a public reception on Tuesday, September 3 from 4:00pm to 6:00 pm. Beardstown is home to enormous agribusiness operations, towering grain terminals, and a massive meatpacking plant. Following the research of scholar Faranak Miraftab, Chicago-based artists Ryan Griffis and Sarah Ross traveled to this region, documenting its economy, geography, and infrastructure, as well as the lives of the people who live and work within this vast agricultural commodity system.
