Educators across the state of Nevada are invited to join us for a discussion on the intersections of art, storytelling and history with Allison Janae Hamilton, a visual artist working in sculpture, installation, photography, and video. Hamilton creates immersive spaces that consider the ways that the American landscape contributes to our ideas of “Americana.” Through blending land-centered folklore and personal family history, Hamilton engages haunting yet epic mythologies that address the social and political concerns of today’s changing southern terrain, including land loss, environmental justice, climate change, and sustainability.

Allison Janae Hamilton’s work is part of the Museum’s permanent collection and on view through August 1 in the exhibition Shifting Horizons.
