Exhibitions and ongoing events

Anthropogenic climate change has its root causes in over two centuries of greenhouse gases primarily produced by the first and second industrialized nations of the world. Climate change is a narrative of global data largely understood to be a driving force in social and economic changes of 21st century. Trees are the largest living things on earth; forests are often discussed as one aspect of the range of approaches necessary to sequester carbon with the potential to reduce the impacts of climate change.

An exhibition, art installation and performance series exploring rituals of citizenship, state power and civil rights. In support of the Latinx Immigrant Community. The installation is loosely based on the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services agency, with a nod towards the aesthetics of post-World War II-era office culture.

The Great Enemy of Truth is a site-specific installation by Elizabeth Alexander with an integral sound component by Todd Bowser. The artists will transform the Main Gallery through intricate paper installations, suspended sculpture, found objects, costumes, dinner plates and sound for an immersive experience that the artist says: "seems double-edged, a dreamlike scenario that is both familiar and foreign--inspiring frequent shifts in mood."

The Climate Stories Collaborative will host a showcase of works produced by students enrolled in courses across the university. This exhibit and associated events at HOW Space will feature visual and performance pieces expressing the stories of those who are affected by and/or taking action to address climate change.
