Earth, Air, Fi
re,
and
ater,
this exhibtion explores the impact of climate change and environmental destruction on Native homelands and how artists are sounding the alarm and advocating for action. From the devastation of wildfires and drought to the contamination of ecosystems from uranium mining and other extractive industries, art offers a means to explore human connections to our planet and its precious resources. Traditional Ecological Knowledge, developed and refined over generations, can inform strategies for adaptation to a changing environment and building a sustainable future---
