The exhibition is composed of works by faculty. The symposium and exhibition examine our complex relationships with the landscapes we inhabit. Purposefully open-ended, the project invites a wide range of approaches. Some works address the impacts of climate change and the cascading, interrelated anthropogenic forces shaping our world, while others investigate the mutability of land itself. From landscapes that bear historical and physical scars of past conflicts, to critiques of the limitations and violence embedded in conventional cartographic practices, to more personal and poetic reflections on place - the works collectively underscore an urgent need to rethink modern societal structures, reimagining humans not as separate from nature, but as deeply embedded within it.
