Gallery Talk | A Change of Scenery: Photographs of Leisure in the Landscape

Sponsored by

This event is over.

Event Details:

Join Assistant Curator of Photography and New Media, Maggie Dethloff, for a tour of A Change of Scenery: Photographs of Leisure in the Landscape. This exhibition surveys ways of “being” in the landscape, encompassing common activities like sight-seeing, recreation, and play, and affective states like joy, intimacy, affinity, and belonging. Featuring approximately 55 American photographs from the 19th and 20th centuries from the Cantor collection depicting people in various outdoor public spaces, this single-gallery exhibition considers the importance of access to nature and leisure, what access entails, and how it shapes identity. 
Talk is on a first-come, first served basis.
