Our take on Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape podcast

Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape is a visual arts podcast by Carnegie Museum of Art. Venus Williams surprises us with her podcast Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape. Across six episodes, she dives into how photography tells stories of nature and people with her incredibly qualified and diverse guests. Together, they explore how early photos shaped our view of land and identity and how today's artists challenge those views, especially around public land and access. It's a fresh take on seeing our world and our place in it, mixing art, history, and ecology in a way that's both easy to grasp and deeply thought-provoking.
