The Earth and its Inhabitants
Named after a chapter in Tristes Tropique (Sad Tropics), written by Claude Lévi-Strauss, this exhibition is an artistic and anthropological observation in self and nature, The Earth and Its Inhabitants calls viewers to become active participants as we mind our changing selves in a changing landscape.
Featuring a projected film Synchronous Gaze by Adriana Barrios, and Florida Natives and Citrus Limbo, a collaborative installation of large hanging silks and photography by Cristina Molina and Jonathan Traviesa, this work is centered in identity, loss, and the changing terrain. The artists call us to observe this present moment and this changing time, knowing that we, as people, are ever-evolving, just as our environment is ever-evolving. We are called to ask ourselves: How have we changed? How does the world change around us? What is lost, and what is gained?
