New Curated Page alert! PRX is a nonprofit public media company dedicated to bringing our world’s stories to millions of people. They work to develop shows like The Moth Radio hour and build mobile apps for popular programs like This American Life — basically, they’re public radio’s largest distribution marketplace. That’s pretty neat! In conjunction with that mission, their Curated Page will highlight all kinds of public radio-related projects, like Blank on Blank’s work to curate and archive hundreds of hours of unused audio from interviews by prominent American journalists, and the recently funded Spanish language podcast Radio Ambulante.

In 2010, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta commissioned Shane Lavalette to contribute to a new body of photographs for their “Picturing the South” series — a mission Shane decided to pursue through the lens of traditional Southern music. “I was not interested in making a documentary about Southern music today, but desired to explore the relationship between traditional music and the contemporary landscape through a more poetic lens,” he explains. “Moved by the themes and stories past down in songs, I let the music itself carry the pictures.” The thoughtfulness shows. CNN recently ran a selection of the photographs, and his project makes a great addition to the recently launched Curated Page for Light Box.
Explore Shane’s project here, and make sure to browse the rest of the awesome photography projects highlighted by Light Box’s Curated Page. -
