Designing Worlds visits a fascinating project at the University of Arkansas regions that recreates Johnny Cash‘s boyhood home in Dyess as part of a broader look at the effects of the Depression in the state, and some of the routes out of rural poverty that began there. We interview Painter Meriman, who has been responsible for the re-creation of the buildings and environment and has deeply researched the history of the area.
