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. Apply with link in bio or visit our website.

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.

Looking for subjects in and around both the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts. Mystics, Psychics, Healers, Mediums, and areas of the landscape that feel charged. Reach out with any recommendations! TY

I am honored to welcome @kristine_potter as a 2026 Soul Land Resident. Here’s what Kristine will be working on during her time in the desert: “During this residency, I will be working in the Joshua Tree and Mojave Desert regions to advance ‘The Listening Ground,” an ongoing project that considers the desert as a site of layered knowledge and belief. I am photographing the landscape itself, attentive to how scale, light, and geological presence shape the experience of being in these places. I am also interested in how people come to the land seeking orientation, healing, or transformation through practices of attention, movement, and ritual, and how those quiet forms of engagement exist alongside larger forces shaping the region, including military histories and the emergence of data centers along the desert’s perimeter. The project traces how these parallel forms of knowing leave their imprint on the ground and on those who enter it. While photography remains central, I am also exploring the possibility of a short film to respond to the sensory and relational qualities of being in the desert. This residency allows for sustained time in the field that the work requires and I’m quite looking forward to the opportunity.”

My student @redmondaysphotography and I have put together an exhibition of our photographs from Japan. We discovered that we both traveled there at the age of twenty-two (25 years apart) both working with 6x9 film cameras, each trying to understand the world and our place in it as photographers. Revisiting my early color images next to her recent black and white work has been revelatory and fun. Please join us for the reception on November 4 at 6pm in the Student Gallery in McFarland at @mtsuphoto . We will have Japanese snacks and candy to share.

Now on view at @uga_doddgalleries through November 14 Bringing together three major series — The Gray Line, Manifest, and Dark Waters — Potter examines how systems of power take hold in both the body and the landscape. Shot across sites charged with history — from West Point to the mythical South — Potter’s work moves between tenderness and tension, asking what it means to inhabit a nation’s inherited narratives. 📷 Installation views by Lindsey Kennedy (@lindsekennedy ) Learn more: art.uga.edu/exhibition/kristine-potter-the-body-politic #KristinePotter #TheBodyPolitic #SashaWolfProjects #LamarDodd #UGAarts #ContemporaryPhotography #WomenInPhotography #AmericanLandscape

I am very honored to have been awarded the 2025 Margie E. West Prize and moreover, quite happy that a selection from 20 years of my photographic work could return home to where it all started: The University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia. This is the first time I've combined these projects, and it has been a bit of a revelation in terms of the larger themes I've been circling for years. Thank you to @hello_rachelwaldrop for the curation and overseeing this installation. Thank you to @lindsekennedy for the excellent installation shots. And thank you to everyone else - like @apolloartservices for taking good care of my work (and me!) The show is up for two more weeks at the Lamar Dodd School of Art - Margie E. West Gallery.

We’re excited to be part of this year’s Southern Festival of Books in Nashville.

Please join us for our panel discussion, The Photobook Saturday, October 18 at 5:00 PM Nolichucky Room, Nashville State Library Moderated by @laurahutsonhunter , Arts Editor at The Nashville Scene, the conversation will include @rachelboillot , @sofiakrysiak @jacklatham @studio_vesnapavlovic @kristine_potter @tamarareynoldsphotography @crogers2011 Rogers. More about the festival:

This summer I was fortunate to receive a commission from the George Gund Foundation to photograph on the theme of Bridges - in Cleveland, Ohio. Having not spent much time in my life photographing architecture, I took this on as a welcomed challenge. I am thankful to the Foundation, to the commission, and especially to Tina Katz - who made this experience possible and who took such good care of me. There is something meaningful and layered to be said about bridges as evidence of our ambitions as a society and of our ever present need to connect over difficult terrain. To learn more about this commission and all of the great commissions that preceded it, check the link in my bio.
