Ways of Unseeing: Crowdsourcing the Frame in Roger May's Looking at Appalachia

Mark Nunes

Appalachian State University

Published November 9, 2017

Mark Nunes considers Roger May's Looking at Appalachia, a crowdsourced photography archive of spaces, places, and people in Appalachia, drawn from the work of many photographers of the region. As this online project reproduces and challenges tropes of Appalachian photography, Nunes describes how it encourages openness to documenting and delimiting the boundaries of Appalachian representation.
