Save the date ♾️ The embodied landscape. Dionne Lee Kristine Potter 05.14.2026 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. Dionne Lee @p.bibeau Kristine Potter @kristine_potter Karima Walker @karimawalker Curated by Faye Dowling. @fayedowling__ Education and collage workshop in collaboration with Denisse Brito, CCP. @benissedrito The seminar topic draws from my research and writing for my master’s thesis: “Embodied South: The embodiment of place in the new photographic imaginaries of the US South, post-1990.” which also discusses the work of Dawoud Bey @dawoudbey amongst others. The event is supported by the University of Arizona Commission on the Status of Women. RSVP [email protected] ▫️ Center for Creative Photography auditorium and forecourt. 1030 N.

Trace, place, belonging: Socio-spatial entanglements at Tulare Lake, California, and Lake Texcoco, Mexico City. [publ. May 26] Material from an article I am writing on lakes, materiality, and regional identity. This research project evolved from a presentation I did at University of Santa Barbara and will be out in the UCSB History of Art & Architecture graduate journal in Spring. Introduction extract and lots of credits to follow. ▫️ — Tulare Lake, California, once the central source of water for the San Joaquin Valley, has reemerged in the popular imagination as a haunting reminder of California’s changing relationship with water, environmental extraction, and regional identity. During the unprecedented rains of 2023, Tulare Lake expanded to fill its nineteenth century perimeters and reached media attention as “a phantom lake” returning to claim its ancient land after years of colonisation. The socio-spatial phenomenon of Tulare Lake is a story that can be traced back centuries through entangled livelihoods and infrastructures, farming and folklore. In the study of regional place-making and local imaginaries, the unstable ontology of a lakebed presents a unique proposition. Dewatered and indeterminate, the lakebed defies demarcation and leads us to question: what is a lake? What constitutes a lake in its material past and present? My article will discuss two ethnoarchaeological studies conducted by landscape historian and designer Alison Hirsch at Tulare Lake, California, and by Columbian artist Adriana Salazar at the analogous contested site of Lake Texcoco, Mexico City. Their applied critical practices examine the production of these interstitial landscapes as both material repositories and projected environments. The lakebed is reimagined as a container of knowledge, a workable archive of environmental, industrial, and community memory. ♾️Credits in notes as wouldn’t fit! Salazar's brilliant project can be found online at All Things Living, All Things Dead and The Animist Museum of Lake Texcoco. @adrianasalazarvelez Also would recommend Greg Halsam’s book The Other California.♾️

Four hours north east through the Tonto National Forest and San Carlos Reservation, green forest, petrified land, dust screened extraction sites and a chance encounter with a simulacrum of my favourite Misrach photo. Missed the sunset at Painted Desert but divert was worth it. Also this evenings sci-fi bloom, local fortress and six o’clock treasure.

Non-linear catch up of Summer vistas, landscapes, wheels and wolves. Around Tucson, Joshua Tree, Bisbee, Santa Barbara, and Devon, England. - Second photograph: Sim Chi Yin, Mountain range surrounding the Nevada Test Site, 2017.

New home, Catalina Heights, Tucson. ~ Ps. I’ve been off meta for a few months, sorry if I’ve missed your art and news. My UK mobile is now expired, so need to reconnect via my American one on Whatsapp etc. X
