As Cycle 4 of the Carnegie Museum of Art's Hillman Photography Initiative, the museum is mounting the exhibition Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape.

"Photography has dramatically altered our access to, understanding of, and impact on the natural world. Through programming that includes the exhibition Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape, a podcast series, and publication, Widening the Lens examines inherited narratives about people and ecology to offer audiences multiple points of entry into landscape photography.
Widening the Lens: Photography, Ecology, and the Contemporary Landscape is organized by Dan Leers, curator of photography, with Keenan Saiz, Hillman Photography Initiative project curatorial assistant.
