Synopsis

From Boat-building To Berries, From Knitting Socks To Mending Nets, Towards An Encyclopedia Of Local Knowledge Vividly Presents The Rich, Place-based Knowings And Doings Of More Than One Hundred Knowledge-holders From Rural Newfoundland. Renowned Artist Pam Hall Perfectly Marries Her Singular Artistic Vision And Her Exhaustive Community-based Research In A Stunning Celebration And Preservation Of Rural Knowledge. These Images And Texts Come Together To Reveal And Revalue The Local In A Time When Global Monoculture Seems Overwhelming.
