Aging in Montclair: Exploring the Landscape

Join Aging in Montclair at the Montclair Art Museum for an engaging docent-led tour of two new exhibitions: Shifting Terrain: Perspectives on Land in North America and Victoria Sambunaris: Transforming the American Landscape followed by a hands-on collage workshop with MAM teaching artist Judy Gould. 

Shifting Terrain explores evolving perspectives on land and landscape across North America by presenting historical, modern, and contemporary artworks that depict diverse relationships to place. 

This exhibition invites viewers to consider the idea of “America” on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The Declaration’s foundational but limited statement—“all men are created equal”—does not reflect the historical experience or contemporary life of many Americans. 

For more than 25 years, Victoria Sambunaris has traveled across the United States creating large-format photographs that explore the evolving relationship between the land and human intervention. Rather than presenting an untouched landscape, her work reveals a terrain shaped by industry, infrastructure, and the ambitions that have defined the American experience. 

Space is limited; registration is required.
