In a brave new world of multimedia journalism, the award-winning Visual Communication School at Ohio University led by Brian Storm of MediaStorm.org and Zach Wise of digitalartwork.net dares to ask the question:

What is the soul of the 200-year-old community of Athens, Ohio?

Athens soul is restless. Its stories lie beneath the bricks, waiting to be exposed. Precariously balanced on the tip of cosmopolitan Appalachia, its uninhibited subcultures test the bounds of predictability.

Go to soulofathens.org, tell us what you think the soul of Athens is. Come back May 28th and see what we discover.
