In late May of 2022, M. Carmen Lane (Cleveland, OH) spent one month in Everglades National Park as both guest and relative in Kahayatle, taking images of an environment while existing in between. During that visit, Roe v. Wade was overturned. Experiencing the simultaneity of grief, loss, and relief, bearing witness while not being a part of it., Lane welcomed the life-giving rainy season while being forewarned by the settler of the hurricane’s potential for damage - a language of fear. In this exhibition Lane uses photography, text, and sound to engage with ideas of parallel process, spatiality, land and its relationship to bodily autonomy, interconnectivity, geographies of confinement, whiteness, freedom, and the teachings inherent in the natural world.
Please join us for the Opening Reception: Friday, Sept. 15, 6-8 p.m.
