Searching for the Real Nebraska

The Great Plains Are Museum presents the work of four photographers documenting the economic upheaval in Nebraska caused by the current recession. An exhibition of photography by University of Nebraska-Lincoln photojournalism students Patrick Breen, Kyle Bruggeman, Clay Lomneth and Associate Professor Bruce Thorson depicts the state's residents sharing their trials and successes. The project was funded by the Center for Great Plains Studies and the College of Journalism and Mass Communications at UNL. The resulting exhibition, Searching for the Real Nebraska: A Photo Essay on the Great Recession, is being shown in two parts at the Great Plains Art Museum. The photographers traveled across the state in a camping trailer, keeping a web log of their experiences along the way. They met with Nebraskans in every scale of town, every stage of life and every degree of intimacy with current economic conditions. Visitors are invited to a First Friday reception on Feb. 5 from 5-7pm.
