Description of Lecture
Examining how landscape photography can function as a visual narrative, Angela Horne, an associate professor of Visual Arts, and Dr. Regina Bradley, assistant professor of African-American Culture, will discuss how seemingly "still" images of a landscape are translated into stories that inform the way we engage with modern American culture and society. Focusing on images from the exhibition Watershed: Contemporary Landscape Photography (currently on display at the Jepson Center), Horne will analyze the relationships between people and the environment that these prints encompass. Drawing upon another manifestation of “still landscape” photography, Bradley will explore how visual images of the Civil Rights Movement shape our understanding of a Southern culture-scape today. She will direct our gaze beyond these images to observe connections between the visual narratives and the protests taking place in the post-Civil Rights South. Together, Horne, who earned a M.F.A. from Georgia Southern University, and Bradley, who holds a Ph.D. from Florida State University, will expose the unsettling social significance of stillness in these exposures.
