2024

In the fall of 2024, Eliza Gregory led thirty-five senior students in the Photography BFA program in researching and photographing the landscape of the State Indian Museum and Sutter’s Fort. Students visited the site repeatedly, learning from Native American contemporary artists, culture bearers and tribal ecological knowledge holders as well as State Parks staff. The focus of the ongoing investigations is how to recognize —and, in many cases, attempt to repair — our relationships to the land we live on. Jon Wong, a former student, put together a short film focusing on the student experiences and perspectives on the work and the course. Eliza Gregory and students exhibited their work in the fall of 2024.
