Terra Study Day on American Photography

The Rijksmuseum and the Terra Foundation for American Art are pleased to invite you to “Interrogating Western Americana: Photography, Indigeneity, Ecology.”

This convening will examine how photography shaped the ecological and racial narratives that enabled colonialism in the American West. Featuring the work of Native and non-Native scholars, this study day will address this topic from art historical and interdisciplinary perspectives that will reconfigure the ways in which we position photographs of Indigenous peoples and the environment.

This Study Day is free and open to the public and will take place at the Rijksmuseum and online.

Our guest participants include Elizabeth Hutchinson (Columbia University), Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie (University of California, Davis), Jolene Rickard (Cornell University), and Henrietta Lidchi (Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen).
