A Maine resident, photography teacher, and lifelong political activist, Olive Pierce began a ten-year project in 1986 photographing several families in Waldoboro, Maine who have long been associated with the fishing industry. This exhibition – curated by Sarah Haimes ’15 under the direction of Art History professor Dana Byrd – brings together a selection of those photographs and tells the story of this revealing documentary project. Pierce recently donated twenty-six photographs from this series to the º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ Museum of Art.
