Junior Cohort Collaboratively Curated Exhibition, 2023

This project was a collaboratively curated exhibition and podcast developed by the Sacramento State photography junior cohort in collaboration with the lead artist Professor Eliza Gregory. It centered on experimental research and examined what it means to be native to a place, exploring how relationships to land are shaped by history, culture, labor, and lived experience.

Throughout the semester, participants traveled across the Central Valley and Bay Area to meet individuals and institutions whose work reflected varied and often precarious relationships to land. Through field visits, interviews, and direct engagement with specific sites, the group investigated land as something lived with, worked on, and remembered - rather than as an abstract concept.

This exhibition presented a range of experimental approaches, including photographic documentation, plant studied, cyanotypes, map-based prints, and site-specific investigations, alongside recorded audio compiled into a podcast released through Building Justice, a public radio show/podcast platform focused on social, environmental, and cultural justice. Presented at Verge Center for the Arts in Sacramento, California in 2023, [Placeholder: Living Precariously] emphasized process, collective inquiry, and photography as a tool for research, listening, and connection.

The accompanying podcast episode is available here - Building Justice, Episode 14: [Placeholder: Living Precariously].
