About

The Appalachian Cultural Project is designed to promote the education of Western Kentucky University photojournalism students while respectfully documenting the people and the culture of the Appalachian region. It is the goal of the project creator and the participants to truthfully represent the people of the area and, through audio and multimedia production, to counter negative stereotypes that are unfairly attached to the region. The challenge of overcoming these stereotypes is large, but by making honest images and by treating people with respect, the project aims to reveal the realities of life in the region and celebrate Appalachian culture.
