Dear Colleagues:

 

The Migrant Clinicians Network invites you to visit our web-based gallery www.migrantclinician.org/gallery/index.php, featuring the work of photojournalist Earl Dotter and audio producer Tennessee Watson, who prepared Farmworkers Feed Us All, an exhibition of photographs and interviews from Maine’s wild blueberry, apple, cranberry, broccoli, egg, dairy and forestry harvests. Through providing a better understanding of farmworkers’ lives and working experiences, this exhibit hopes to contribute to the ongoing efforts to improve agricultural working conditions and farmworkers access to basic services in Maine and throughout the United States.

 

Earl Dotter and Tennessse Watson could have gone to any state to document the lives of farmworkers. They chose Maine because of the efforts of the Maine Migrant Health Program (MMHP), a project that effectively works to provide low-cost health care services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers. Time and time again, the farmworkers they spoke with told them that Maine was one of but a few states where mobile clinics and nurse outreach teams offered them health care services in the fields and at worker housing.

 

This work was made possible thanks to support from the Harvard University School of Public Health, Migrant Clinicians Network and Dr. Mike Rowland.

 

The Gallery is located on MCN’s website at the following address: www.migrantclinician.org/gallery/index.php.  Please take a moment to view these multimedia pieces and give us your feed back.
