SUMMARY:Closing Reception - SKILLED Photography Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:This event marks the closing of “SKILLED\,” a photography exhibit featuring 24 framed photos of traditional tradespeople. A collaboration between photographer Tod Bryant and Ken Follett\, the exhibit is an exploration of the traditional building trades\, highlighting the intersection of tradition\, technology\, and community. The event is structured in two parts: a lecture followed by an interactive reception. \nThe evening will begin with a lecture by Ken Follett\, a Board Member of the Association of Preservation Technology Northeast. “From Sacred Labor to Peak Performance: Exploring Work\, Community\, and the Flow State.” The talk will explore how work\, when treated as a sacred and communal activity\, can lead to a “sharing of flow” among participants. Drawing insights from the Shakers and other historic communal societies\, Follett will discuss this collective state of peak performance and engagement. Following the lecture\, attendees will enjoy the closing reception for the exhibit. Guests can view the 24 photographs while enjoying refreshments. A unique feature of the reception will be an open conversation with both the photographer\, Tod Bryant\, and the tradespeople who are the subjects of the photographs. This session offers a special opportunity to gain deeper insight into their skilled work. \nTickets can be purchased here!
