With years of experience in photography\, Najera has developed a singular perspective on documenting the shifting scenes of cities\, roadways\, and buildings. Her key themes include recording revitalization and change\, such as the redevelopment of historical sites\, and blending artistic vision with journalistic storytelling to address diverse topics. Najera took all of the images for this exhibition on highways U.S. 40 and U.S. 50\, which historically brought travelers across the state. \nNajera’s work often focuses on the dramatic interplay of light and shadow\, frequently photographing buildings and places after dark. She said\, “Exhibitions are crucial for my artistic growth\, providing opportunities for community engagement\, experimentation with new techniques\, and collaboration with other artists.” She aims for each exhibition to showcase her work\, allow her to reflect on her artistic journey\, and connect with audiences. \nNajera’s photography has appeared in leading publications such as the New York Times\, Bloomberg\, NPR\, ProPublica\, and more. Notable projects include covering the revitalization of Historic Brush Park in Detroit\, documenting train stations in the Midwest\, and most recently exploring housing affordability issues in Washoe County. These projects highlight her skill in blending artistic vision with journalistic storytelling. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Grand Valley State University in Michigan in 2007 and a M.F.A. degree from the University of Nevada\, Reno in 2013. She lives in Reno with her family. \nAlicia Barber\, Ph.D.\, wrote the exhibition essay for Najera’s show. She is a historian\, educator\, and author working at the intersections of public memory\, historic landscapes\, and community identity. She focuses her work on the history\, culture\, and built environments of the city of Reno\, the state of Nevada\, and the American West. Barber is the founder/owner of Stories in Place LLC. Her independent and collaborative exhibits and historical markers\, oral histories\, and digital projects include Reno Historical\, Illuminating Reno’s Divorce Industry\, and the 4th Street-Prater Way History Project. She wrote Reno’s Big Gamble: Image and Reputation in the Biggest Little City (University of Kansas Press\, 2008)\, and articles and columns for a variety of academic and trade publications. Barber produced and hosted the history feature “Time & Place” for KUNR Public Radio from 2017 – 2019. From 2003 to 2013\, she taught in the Core Humanities Program and Department of History at the University of Nevada\, Reno\, where she also directed the University of Nevada Oral History Program. Dr. Barber holds a B.A. in English from Stanford University\, a M.A. in English from the University of Utah\, and a PhD in American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin.

SUMMARY:Narrative Cartography: A Graduate Workshop with Jessica Oreck
DESCRIPTION:Join Jessica Oreck\, filmmaker and curator (of the Office of Collecting and Design)\, for a non-credit\, graduate-level exploration of how to think about narrative. This workshop is for anyone interested in storytelling structure — geologists\, historians\, physicists\, architects\, creative writers\, filmmakers\, and any other discipline you can imagine. Please complete this brief application no later than Sept. 16\, 2024. \n“When we think of mapmaking\, we tend to think of geography.  But the cartography of a story isn’t about locations.  It is a map through time\, through emotions\, characters\, dialogue\, events. \nHow can we take a story and lay it out on a single page?  Not as a way of telling the story\, but as a way of making a story visible.  A way of fixing the fluidity of time\, drawing linear time as a line of sight.  A way of organizing experience.  A way of breaking the rules.  And then taking what we’ve learned and using them as tools of enlightenment\, change\, chance\, and empathy. \nNarrative Cartography is a short workshop about storytelling\, mapmaking\, time\, distance\, history\, etymology\, and invisibility.” – Jessica Oreck. \nThe workshop will take place over three sessions — applicants must commit to attend all three sessions to be considered for a spot in the workshop: \n\nSaturday\, Oct. 5 from 10 a.m–noon at  the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas (FDH 105)\nSunday\, Oct. 6 from 10 a.m. – noon at UNLV (FDH 105)\nSunday\, Oct. 13 from 10 a.m. – noon at UNLV\, in the BMI Library (RLL 126)\n\nIf you are interested and available for all three sessions\, please fill out this form. Depending on interest\, there may be a waiting list. We will advise you of your admission status no later than Friday\, Sept. 20\, 2024. \nQuestions? Email Black Mountain Institute’s Associate Director of Programs\, Charlotte Wyatt\, at charlotte.wyatt@unlv.edu.
