Displacement: Photo Book Release and Pop-Up Exhibition

The Staunton Augusta Art Center hosts the book release of Displacement, a photo book and pop up exhibition by Staunton based photographer Jeremy Starn on Friday, March 1 from 6 pm – 8 pm in the art center galleries. It is a photo exploration of folks in Costa Rica building a wooden sailing ship in the jungle. Minimally subsiding at a jungle shipyard in Costa Rica, an idiosyncratic commune is building the world’s largest wooden cargo sailing ship. Their mission is to offer competitive zero emission shipping using traditional tall ships. Years behind schedule, and millions in debt to investors, this unique subculture is striving for an alternative future.
