The third episode of Widening the Lens looks at how artists are thinking about the history of public land and the ways in which discriminatory policies have long defined who has access to natural spaces. Ornithologist and writer J. Drew Lanham explores this tension through his family history, while artist Xaviera Simmons, curator Candice Hopkins, and filmmaker Julian Brave NoiseCat convene to reconsider landscapes as sites that can forge solidarity amidst environmental and political concerns. —Image: Xaviera Simmons, Sundown (Number Two), 2018, Courtesy of the artist and David Castillo, Miami © Xaviera Simmons
