Lydia Smith: Artist Talk on Cyclorama (Shrum Mound)

March 4, 2027

Lydia Smith will give a talk on her installation—a burial mound based in Norwood that has never been excavated or touched, and the last of its kind in Cincinnati. This programming is part of Natural Fictions curated by Lindsay Albert (Program Manager, KADIST) and Sso-Rha Kang (Curator, The Carnegie).

Natural Fictions is part of the 2026 FotoFocus Biennial: The Long View. Now in its eighth iteration, the Biennial activates over 70 exhibitions at museums, galleries, universities, and public spaces throughout Greater Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Northern Kentucky in October 2026.
