BERLIN — When the Old Man of the Mountain fell from his perch high above Franconia Notch, on May 3, 2003, it made international news. Many in New Hampshire and beyond responded as though mourning a beloved public figure. This September, the White Mountains Community College Fortier Library is honoring the history and cultural impact of this unique icon with a month-long traveling display “An Enduring Presence: The Old Man of the Mountain”, from Plymouth State University’s Museum of the White Mountains.
On Wednesday, Sept. 6 at 6 p.m., New Hampshire scholar and curator of the exhibition, Inez McDermott, will present “The Old Man: His Life and Legacy.”Inez has been teaching art history and curating art and history exhibitions in New Hampshire since 1986. In her classes and research, she explores the ways that art plays a role in social engagement, participatory democracy, and activism. Her specific research focus is on the state’s historical and contemporary art and artists, with a particular focus on 19th-century photography.
