For over a century, the American West has been a nexus for several geographically-specific narratives. Among them, the ‘rugged individual’ has played a central role in the character formation and storytelling of this region. More recently, a number of economic and industrial shifts have impacted the identities of the people who live here, leaving their mark upon the Western psyche. Pride and Pain: Contemporary Identities in the American West showcases five videos by contemporary women from the American West that register these changes. Works by Cara Despain, Amy Jorgensen, Susan Krueger-Barber, Kristina Lenzi, and Hannah Slind feature subjects that have been erased, coerced or alienated by the mega-systems in their lives. These contrast the ‘rugged individual’ of the past, who is stoic, triumphant and unequivocally male. Curated and managed by Alexandra Karl, Ph.D.
