The Good River: What Divides And Connects Us: A History of the Ohio River as Seen by Enquirer Photojournalists

Monday, October 1 through Saturday, November 3, local photojournalists from The Enquirer will be exhibiting photographs from The Enquirer’s archives at the Eva G. Farris Art Gallery at Thomas More College. On display will be historical Ohio River events, as well as scenes of life on the river from the last century. The Gallery will host several lectures by exhibiting photojournalists, as well as local storytellers and historians. An array of academic activities and projects is being designed in tandem with the river-based theme. English, art and biology departments will participate. Additional activities and events are in development to celebrate TMC’s involvement in this historic inaugural FOTOFOCUS* event.

Saturday, October 6, 4-5 p.m. Cliff Radel, Enquirer columnist and resident Ohio River historian, will speak on Cincinnati’s love-hate relationship with the Ohio, the river that gave birth to the Queen City. The show’s opening reception directly follows from 5-7 p.m.
