Dive into the world of industrial labor, identity, and cultural memory with the Photo Club on Wednesday, February 11, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the front of the Burchfield Penney Art Center. Explore Mark Maio’s powerful photographs of grain scoopers and discover how they reveal the ties between Irish American life and Buffalo’s waterfront economy over nearly two centuries. Through a guided tour of Against the Grain, we’ll confront the human cost and cultural loss behind the shift from manual labor to automation. Attendees will also get hands-on with a related activity, making this a thought-provoking and interactive journey through art, history, and identity. RSVP via Bengal Connect.
