Last 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 to see Kristine Potter’s 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 at Sewanee.

Bringing together black-and-white photography and film, 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 moves through Southern landscapes, murder ballads, portraiture, and the cultural narratives that have long intertwined femininity, violence, and place.

Potter’s photographs resist settling into a single story. Figures and landscapes move between character and setting, witness, target, and threat; familiar Southern terrain becomes psychologically charged, shaped by memory and inherited narrative.

Only three more days to apply to our second open call.

Theme: The Embodied Weight of Place

Featured photographer: Kristine Potter

Dates: March 29th - May 6th

The Embodied Weight of Place centers on how place is not experienced neutrally. Landscapes, interiors, and built environments carry histories and mythologies that shape how they are felt and inhabited, even when those narratives are not immediately visible. Our experiences of place is conditioned by what has occurred there, by the stories that circulate around it, and by who we are within those contexts.

This theme invites work that considers how bodies move through places already charged by prior use, belief, and memory. Photographs may take form of landscapes, portraits, or scenes of everyday life. What unites them is an attention to how place presses back on those who encounter it, producing experiences that are uneven, subjective, and deeply situated.

Up to thirty photographers will be highlighted alongside Kristine’s work to explore this theme in Issue Two.

New methodologies in photographic land studies.

Performance by Karima Walker

Center for Creative Photography.
Artist practice talks and collage workshop.
5 - 7.30pm MST/PDT @cntrforcreativephoto

The embodied landscape foregrounds artists Dionne Lee and Kristine Potter, whose interdisciplinary field work proposes new methodologies for critical landscape practice. Engaging photography, land, and body work, their art investigates the ways in which we navigate as individuals and communities through the real and projected environments of the US South and Southwest. Charged and vital, their embodied practices disrupt and challenge the inherited moral narratives of colonial and gender-based violence as they operate within these historically complex territories. Positing new embodied critical practices, they assimilate new strategies for survival, understanding, and change within our evolving social landscape.
