“indiVISIBLE: Seeing and Celebrating Indispensable Agricultural Workers”, a new exhibit by The LAVA Center, debuted in early February 2024. The exhibit was funded in part by an Expand Massachusetts Stories grant.

The project focused on farmworkers, a population rarely heard from. The team, led by Alfonso Herrera-Neal and Lindy Whiton, conducted nine full interviews, in multiple languages. Herrera-Neal’s black and white photography is featured in the exhibit, as is Whiton’s color photography.

Among the themes that emerged from the overall collection of interviews are those of family, travel, and land. Specific focus emerged as well on Caribbean history and on multi-generational relationship between seasonal workers and recent generations at Clark Brothers Orchards.
