The event is co-sponsored by the North Carolina Folklife Institute."North Carolina at Work: Cedric Chatterley's Portraits and Landscapes of Traditional Labor," which will run through June 29, features images of working North Carolinians, from apple pickers to oyster harvesters to preachers and cooks, and explores the relationship between work, place, identity, and community. "North Carolina at Work" will be the first exhibit drawn from a photo archive of some thirty-thousand images, Chatterley¿s among them, held jointly by the North Carolina Folklife Institute (NCFI) and the North Carolina Arts Council.
