<p>Landscape photographs contain a multitude of stories about natural spaces and the people connected to them. In the first episode of <em>Widening the Lens</em>, archaeologist Rachael Z. DeLue and historian Tyler Green critically examine dominant narratives about land, identity, and history generated by early landscape photography, and artist Sky Hopinka considers creating alternative archives that combine the personal with the poetic.</p> <p>—<br />Image: Sky Hopinka, <em>Cowboy Mouth 2</em> (Yoiréreginagere), 2022; © Sky Hopinka.

<p>Since its inception, photography has helped perpetuate myths about the American landscape that obscure more complex experiences. To get a sense of how these myths influence our relationship to land today, science writer William L. Fox traces connections between mythmaking and human cognition throughout history, while artists Sam Contis, Mark Armijo McKnight, and Raven Chacon discuss how their work counters and breaks these myths by reframing the protagonists and narratives we typically see enacted in the landscape.</p> <p>—<br />Image: Mark A.
