Virginia-and-France based photographer Sarah Hazlegrove has a new exhibit opening Saturday, October 10 at Roanoke’s Taubman Museum of Art. It’s a collection called “Tobacco People".
For many, it may be a very different view of the tobacco world-- as this exhibit culminates a four-year-international journey around the rapidly-disappearing world of tobacco cultivation.
Hazlegrove, whose family owned a tobacco farm in Virginia for 200 years, visited countries where the majority of tobacco is still harvested by hand.
