“Laid Bare”: Women Photographers and Land with Brett M. Van Hoesen

Women photographers across geographies and cultures have used the land as an apparatus to formulate ideas about gender, identity, and race as well as a means to critique local and global politics. Van Hoesen will focus on the work of four artists featured in Laid Bare in the Landscape:  Ana Mendieta, Mary Beth Edelson, Otobong Nkanga, and Laura Aguilar. Dr. Brett M. Van Hoesen is Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Nevada, Reno.
