  • El camino se traza al andar (The Path is Traced by Walking), a solo exhibition of art by the Guatemalan American artist Jackie Amézquita, including innovative soil-based artworks as well as documentation of her walking performances.
  • Moth Ball, an installation of a print in which Ash Ferlito and Patrick Costello record the breathtaking diversity of moths they encountered during a mothing expedition on the summer solstice in 2022.
  • Mourning Songs of Salt and Silt, a solo exhibition by Amy Elkins, whose large-scale cyanotypes symbolically and materially reunite her late father with the landscape he inhabited throughout his adulthood.

 

Actions for the Earth: Art, Care & Ecology is a traveling exhibition curated by Sharmila Wood and produced by Independent Curators International (ICI), New York. Lead funding is provided by the Hartfield Foundation as part of an initiative to support ICI’s commitment to new curatorial voices who will shape the future of the field, and ICI’s Curatorial Intensive alumni as they move through the stages of their career. Actions for the Earth is made possible with the generous support of ICI’s Board of Trustees and International Forum.
