About this Event
Come together for a thoughtful evening featuring artists in Women in the Desert, a talk delving into the profound relationships between these women, nature, and the arid landscapes they live in.
Sant Khalsa, a pioneering artist and activist with a career spanning almost five decades, has become renowned for her work addressing environmental and cultural issues through photography, sculpture, and installations. Khalsa will share her reflections on the desert as a powerful metaphor for resilience and transformation, highlighting how her mindful investigations of place shape her artistic practice. Her recent book, Crystal Clear || Western Waters, exemplifies her deep engagement with the environmental challenges facing the West.
Debbie Bentley, a photographer based in Denver, Colorado, focuses her lens on the intersections of natural and human-altered landscapes. Bentley will present her widely recognized project Salton Sea: Beautiful Desolation and discuss her most recent work, Dammed: Birth to Death of the Colorado River, which chronicles the environmental impact and cultural significance of the river’s transformation. Through her photography, Bentley explores the fragile beauty of desert landscapes and the critical need for their preservation.
This lecture offers a unique opportunity to engage with two artists whose work critically examines environmental issues, personal connection to place, and the evolving relationship between nature and human activity.
