Changing the Face of Rural | Matthew Fluharty | TEDxGullLake

Art and culture are interwoven into the ways in which we talk about the future of rural communities. They are an essential part of community development, nurturing the emotional and intellectual health of a place. Matthew, now of Winona, MN, founded Art of the Rural to recognize, preserve, and grow the many aspects of rural culture, even as our rural communities shift and change over time.

Matthew holds a PhD in English and American Literature from Washington University in Saint Louis, where he wrote on the concept of “rural modernity” across transatlantic art and literature. Matthew serves on the Board of Directors for the M12 art collective and is a Research Fellow in American Culture Studies at Washington University in Saint Louis.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
