This event has ended.

Edie Winograde's new solo exhibition, Place and Time: Reenactment Pageant Photographs. In this ongoing series Winograde has photographed reenactments of events in the history of Manifest Destiny and Westward Expansion, presented in their original locales. These reenactment pageants represent a unique window into the American psyche, combining historical facts, myths, and legends with theatrical devices to entertain and educate the local audiences. Ritualistic and cathartic in nature, these pageants often have profound significance to the communities that create/recreate them. They contain the specific history of the place filtered through current perceptions of this history, of self, and of others.
