About American Silence and the Presenters
American Silence: The Photographs of Robert Adams focuses on the sense of peace and awe that nature can instill in us and our moral silence to its desecration. Each artist will present on their creative practice and connection with Adams’ work.

Terry Evans
Terry Evans, like Adams, photographs both the untouched natural world and the damages we have inflicted on it, providing insight into the complexities and contradictions of the American landscape.

An-My Lê
An-My Lê explores sites of conflict in the landscape and questioned what is essential to America. She has asked how critical a sense of wilderness, a sense of vastness (what Adams called “the big view”) is to America’s vision of itself.
