Please join us for a very special event celebrating the work of Dawn Kish, a photographer who is documenting the reemergence of Glen Canyon. Her work is currently exhibited in Gallery 4 until February 20, 2027. https://www.artintersection.com/event/glen-canyon-exposed-dawn-kish/

 

About her photographs: What began as a story for Arizona Highways Magazine has evolved into a motion picture film, educational Tad Talks, and now a traveling exhibit. This photographic and motion picture program explores the dramatic environmental transformation of Glen Canyon and Lake Powell, documenting the historic re-emergence of lost landscapes, ancient archaeology, and natural wonders as water levels recede. Centered on a multi-generational visual dialogue, the program bridges past and present by pairing the historic pre-dam photography of Tad Nichols with the modern, immersive photojournalism of Dawn Kish—who exposes the canyon with Tad’s original 4×5 Crown Graphic camera. Together, their lenses and shared artifact examine ecological memory, climate dynamics, and the ongoing rebirth of the Colorado River corridor through art and advocacy.
