Through these works, we aim to create a dialogue around humanity’s connection to the natural world. How are we as human beings affecting and interacting with the physical world around us? This exhibition explores both the ways our environment brings us joy and comfort and how our actions negatively impact our climate. These two central themes united as one through the collection of these works show how human’s relationship with nature does not operate on a good/bad binary, but instead is a convoluted gray area in which there is room for both celebration and grief.

Participating artists include Nicolette Reinsmith, Gabriella Myres-Lipton, Malcolm Christie, Arwen Creswell, Aiden Paul, Laz Geddes, Robin Larisch, Nya Serano, and Michaela Sampas.

Opening reception: March 26, 6–9pm

This exhibition is part of the Spring 2024 PLAySPACE Program. PLAySPACE, the Paulette Long and Shepard Pollack Art Community Experiment, was founded in 2005 to provide the resources for student artists and curators to conceptualize and present exhibitions and events that are oriented towards the academic community.
