The voices of the workers who forged their livelihoods inside one of Ithaca’s largest manufacturing facilities have been preserved in Factory Stories, a new photography book by SouthWorks Artist in Residence Harry Littell. Join us on August 6th from 4-7pm at Found in Ithaca (620 South Aurora Street) for a Book Launch!
Combining contemporary photographs of the former Morse Chain/Emerson Power Transmission factory campus with portraits and firsthand recollections from former employees, the book documents a pivotal chapter in the city's industrial history as the site now enters a new era of redevelopment.
This event is free and open to the public. Enjoy refreshments and meet some of the interviewees, and share your own connection to the site as well! Copies of Factory Stories will be available for purchase at the event. RSVP here: https://southworksithaca.com/events/book
