Interrogating Western Americana: Photography, Indigeneity, Ecology The Rijksmuseum and the Terra Foundation for American Art are pleased to invite you to “Interrogating Western Americana: Photography, Indigeneity, Ecology.”
This gathering will examine how photography shaped the ecological and racial narratives that enabled colonialism in the American West. This Study Day will reconfigure our approach to photographs of Indigenous peoples and the environment through art historical and interdisciplinary perspectives. This Study Day is free and open to the public and will take place at the Rijksmuseum and online. Please RSVP before 25 May and inform us that you will attend in person or online. Please note that this invitation will serve as your admission ticket to enter the museum on the afternoon of 3 June 2022.
