Join us for the opening of "Groundings," the final of four exhibitions on the theme of Care and Climate Justice, and a roundtable discussion with artists from the exhibition series: Shanequa Benitez, Emily Johnson, Courtney Desiree Morris, Sarah Rosalena, Laia Cabrera, and Isabelle Duverger. Through their diverse lenses, the artists will discuss ways of thinking, sensing, and responding to our environmental crisis beyond the registers of urgency and anxiety that dominate current discourse. They will also consider the ways that art relates to questions of care and justice under the conditions of racial capitalism and settler colonialism. Care in this sense includes practices of grief, remembrance, attention, slowness, kinship, and expansive imagination and storytelling in anticipation of other futures. This series is co-curated by Sarah Hamill and Izzy Lockhart and supported by a grant from the Mellon Foundation to teach climate justice across the humanities at Sarah Lawrence and Bronx Community College.
