Sodom Laurel
Album continues
"Sodom Laurel Album" a major
photographic exhibition from the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke
University, is the result of a twenty year photographic project/field study
by documentary photographer Rob Amberg. The exhibition and the

Amberg became part of the rural North Carolina community known colloquially
as Sodom Laurel, located in the mountains not far from Asheville, N.C.
To expand the exhibition, art6
will present a lecture by Rob Amberg and a book signing on Sunday afternoon,
May 9th at 4 pm. The photographer will also be present at the opening
of the exhibition, Friday, May 7th from 7 - 10 pm during the First Fridays
Art Walk.
The exhibition is organized by
the Center for Documentary Studies, with additional support from the Mary
Duke Biddle Foundation, Asheville Savings Bank, Madison County Arts Council,
Farmer's Legal Action Group, Rural Advancement Foundation International, and
