Adam Nadel: “Getting the Water Right” — The culture and politics of water in the Everglades
Lecture and Opening Reception Wednesday, Oct. 26, 6-8 p.m. Join us for a lecture and discussion with photographer Adam Nadel and UCLA Anthropologist Jessica Cattelino. “Getting the Water Right” is the motto and goal of Everglades restoration. The development of South Florida’s coastal communities and agriculture has reduced the Everglades in size by half. Now, the ecosystem is at risk, threatening the region’s water supply, scientifically — and internationally — recognized subtropical wetlands, and the water rights and ways of life of indigenous and nonindigenous peoples. Adam Nadel’s images are presented alongside scholarship by Jessica Cattelino to offer insight into how the world’s costliest ecosystems restoration is as much a social and cultural project as a scientific one.
BERENICE ABBOTT: “North and South” — Photographs of U.S. Route 1.
During the summer of 1954, photographer Berenice Abbott set off with two companions to tour the expanse of Route 1. The group left from New York City and drove south to Key West. There, they turned around retracing their route until they reached the most northerly point; Fort Kent, Maine. During this excursion, Abbott created more than 2,400 negatives. She devoted the next two years to developing prints and a prospectus illustrating the historical importance of the project. Her goal was to capture the character of the time in the ever transient face of America.
