Of the Prairie: A Community Storytelling Event with Jason Reed

Join Texas-based artist Jason Reed and a group of tallgrass prairie community members as they share family pictures from the Flint Hills and discuss their early memories of the prairie, family histories, and their relationship to the land.

Jason Reed is a Texas-based artist and educator. With a background in geography, his work deals with the confluence of land, culture, natural resources, and visual histories through varying modes of photographic representation.

In addition to his individual practice, much of his work involves collaboration through the art and education project Borderland Collective, which Reed co-founded in 2007 with high school history teacher Ryan Sprott. Most recently he started a printed matter project that examines histories and dilemmas of the American West called the Victory in the Wilderness Museum.
