Photography exhibit by Monica L. Smith
Located at UCLA Kerckhoff Art Gallery


Thursday, May 25, 2023
2:00 PM - 5:00 PM (Pacific Time)


Monica L. Smith, an archaeologist and member of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at UCLA, takes us on a photographic journey to the world of vibrant and resilient vegetation underfoot. She shows us how an artist's eye resides within all of us, enabling us to see what we usually filter out of our perception as we traverse the streets of Los Angeles. 

The exhibit coincides with the release of her edited volume, The Power of Nature, published by the University Press of Colorado and featuring a number of UCLA authors. The exhibition will run from May 22-26, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

This event is organized by the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability
