Photography Exhibition Explores Evolving Narratives of the American West

The exhibition 'The New American West: Photography in Conversation' features Danny Lyon's 1970 photograph 'Stephanie' taken in Sandoval County, New Mexico, as a central work. The show examines the region's transformation through photographic documentation, juxtaposing historical perspectives with contemporary journeys by artists Maryam Eisler and Alexei Riboud, who traveled through Texas and New Mexico. The exhibition serves as a reflective exploration of the American West's changing identity, balancing recognition of the past with forward-looking perspectives.
