Dana Fritz: Field Guide to a Hybrid Landscape
As part of the Project’s ongoing Land & Water program series, we are thrilled to host Dana Fritz, Hixson-Lied Professor of Art, Art History and Design, for an important reflection on how humans make, shape, and understand landscapes.
Fritz will join the Rural Reconciliation Project in person in Lincoln, Nebraska—at the University of Nebraska College of Law—on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. All are welcome.

Like a virtual fieldtrip to the Nebraska Sandhills—but through the lens of the most thoughtful and introspective of guides—visual artist Fritz will discuss and share photographs from her new book, Field Guide to a Hybrid Landscape. The book examines, in provocative ways, the unique hand-planted forest of the Bessey Ranger District and now includes some of the last images captured before the 2022 wildfires near Halsey.

Fritz’s work has been exhibited widely across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Her prints and artist books are in museum and library special collections including the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library.
