About the Exhibition
In the face of our global climate crisis and tensions around the exploitation or pollution of our planet’s precious resources, the artists in the third chapter of Between Life and Land are compelled to respond to pressing environmental issues. Twelve artists and artist collectives reflect on our rapidly shifting relationships to bodies of land and water, revealing stories of both trauma and healing. Here, artists find hope in participatory engagement, education, and mindfulness. During a critical moment in human history, their work facilitates public reflection and dialogue, demonstrating the vital role that art plays in mobilizing communities to transform our present and preserve our future.
Between Life and Land is a three-part exhibition series examining our relationship to land through the lens of more than 30 artists. Each exhibition in the series explores a singular theme to bring a deeper understanding of how this relationship has formed, evolved, and today continues to change.
