We know that Art has the potential to shape our world — Art can be credited with creating social movements and even making revolutionary changes in society. In this exhibit the artwork gives a voice to those who created it to speak about the Land and their connection to it. We present this exhibition as an invitation to the public to connect with and appreciate the beauty of the land, recognize its fragility and work to protect it.
