Blackey

Appalshop hosted thirteen Indonesians from Jakarta and Yogyakarta as part of a multi-phased, international exchange project made possible by a grant from the US Department of State, Bureau of Cultural and Educational Affairs. The project pairs a growing network of Indonesian media organizations with Appalshop with a commitment to cross cultural exchange in a process of shared learning. The exchange included workshops and a collaborative production with Appalshop's youth media program AMI, the Appalachian Media Institute. This is one of three videos produced during the collaboration.

I have come to believe that it is just a cop out when people/kids say that there is nothing to do here. There is plenty to do. We have concerts at the Appalshop, art classes several places, community jams for musicians, book clubs at the library, and I could continue. Blackey/Letcher County is a great place to be.
