In Conversation: Zoe Leonard and curator Nadiah Rivera Fellah on ‘Al río / To the River’

On the occasion of ‘Zoe Leonard. Excerpts from Al río / To the River,’ we joined the artist and Cleveland Museum of Art associate curator, Nadiah Rivera Fellah, for a conversation, with an introduction by poet and book editor Tim Johnson.

Leonard’s exhibition features a selection of works from her expansive photographic project ‘Al río / To the River’ (2016–2022) which traces the 1,200-mile stretch of the Rio Grande, as it’s called in the US, or the Río Bravo, as it’s known in Mexico, that is used to demarcate the border between the two countries.

The conversation touches on the history of borderlands photography and delves into how Leonard explores the conflation of, and boundaries between, nature and politics as they manifest in the landscape of the US / Mexico border.
