Finding Solace in Nostalgia  with Anna Rotty

Join us via Zoom Wednesday, July 27th, at 7 pm ET

Anna Rotty’s work contemplates empathy, distance, and connection between people and place. Through material investigations and alternative installation techniques, Anna explores emotional experiences by creating slow, constructed images of potential future worlds. Considering the relationship between photography and nostalgia, Anna’s observations and constructed landscape aim to highlight the intangible. In this open conversation, she will share recent work and works in progress from her Terra and Solastalgia series. 

Anna Rotty lives in Albuquerque where she is currently pursuing an MFA in photography at the University of New Mexico. She was a shortlisted finalist for the Frankenthaler Climate Art Awards and has been published with Aint Bad, Humble Arts Foundation, and Six Feet Photography. This year Anna was selected as an emerging member at Strata Gallery Santa Fe. She has exhibited at the University of New Mexico Art Museum, Foto Forum Santa Fe and SF Camerawork. Anna recently published a book honoring poll workers and election officials through National Monument Press.
