Virtual Event: Anthracite Today

Due to an unforeseen emergency, NMIH will not be hosting his presentation on January 19th. Please check back for more information in the future, subscribe to our mailing list, or stay tuned on our social media for a potential reschedule.

For the second year in a row, Dane Rhys will share a sampling of his ongoing photographic work, documenting the people and places that make up the modern anthracite coal industry. Going into underground mines that almost appear unchanged from a century ago to open pit mines with machines larger than most buildings, Dane has set out to tell the story of older workers in coal mines and many other industries. His captivating presentation will literally put faces to the modern anthracite industry to help define its past, present, and future.

Dane is an Australian photographer from the International Center of Photography in New York. During the past year his images have been carried by Reuters, Bloomsburg, and the New York Times.

This event will stream live via NMIH’s Facebook page.
