‘Spirit in the Land’ F EB. 1 6 – JULY 9
This contemporary art exhibition at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University showcases works by 30 artists that examines today’s urgent ecological concerns from a cultural perspective through a close attention to the communities most negatively affected. The exhibit – organized by Nasher Museum Director Trevor Schoonmaker – also explores humanity’s relationship to land and water, and how living in harmony with nature is a necessity for the survival of the human race while ruminating on possibilities of a brighter future.
