Northern Arizona University: Glen Canyon Exposed– Tad’s Emerging World
In this free event, photographer Dawn Kish will screen her new documentary and talk about her journey that documents the hidden treasure of the Southwest known as Glen Canyon.
This epic landscape of red sandstone walls, flowing rivers and cultural sites is under a giant reservoir called Lake Powell. The lake is at its lowest water level since the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam because of human consumption, climate change and drought. It is time to go on an adventure to explore this canyon she never knew about except in books, films and photos. Kish will be shooting with an old Crown Graphic 4×5 camera. This camera documented Glen Canyon pre-dam from an incredible photographer, Tad Nichols, from 1950 to 1963. He was trying to save this beautiful place with his photographs and document it before it was submerged under water. What is emerging now? What will be learned? What is preserved? What will develop? Glen Canyon’s destiny is still unknown
