Photographic Ruptures in New Mexico

Photographic Ruptures in New Mexico

This talk explores how New Mexico’s identity as the “Land of Enchantment” operates not just as a romantic slogan but as part of a broader project of dispossession. Focusing on mid-century photographs by Lee Marmon (Laguna), Alhelí Harvey, a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies, will explore how scenes from Route 66 near Laguna Pueblo disrupt the polished image of “enchantment” and reflect Indigenous advocacy. Free and open to the Penn community. Register to attend.

12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

McNeil Building, 3718 Locust Walk
