“The Wilderness Park Question,” an exhibition of large format photographs of Lincoln’s biggest, most complex park opens First Friday, January 3.



Over more than a century, what is now known as Wilderness Park hosted many groups and enterprises and frequent floods. The impact of city development on park preservation and the Salt Creek watershed has been a source of controversy. These highly detailed images were made after the Lincoln City Council approved a housing development near the Fish Farm on the edge of the park, where a sweat lodge used by indigenous and other community members has existed for decades.


Photographer Michael Farrell will be featured at the opening reception from 5-8 p.m.

Backpacking along Salt Creek, Farrell made 8 x 10 view camera images and pondered what the future may hold for these resources. Viewers are invited to consider the same questions.
