Farlow will showcase a collection of photographs taken from stories covered over the last 15 years.

This exhibition is presented in conjunction with the Louisville Photo Biennale, which focuses this year upon former students and faculty of Louisville’s Center for Photographic Studies.

A Paoli, Indiana native, Farlow served as a faculty member at the Center for photographic studies. While in Louisville, she was part of the Courier-Journal / Louisville Times team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1976 for photographic coverage of desegregation. 

Her images have won multiple awards in the Pictures of the Year competition and other contests. Farlow received her B.A. in journalism from Indiana University and her masters from the University of Missouri, where she also taught photojournalism.
