Ana Teresa Barboza and Ariamna Contino in the exhibition Mother Earth→

/

On View at The Meridian Center for Cultural Diplomacy in Washington D.C. on June 13, 20, and 27 and July 11, 2024.

An exhibition of more than 30 artworks by 18 women artists showcases the critical role of artists in shaping the climate narrative, curated by Virginia Shore and Sarah Tanguy.

“The climate crisis is no longer a distant threat; it is a stark reality that demands our immediate attention. Our planet is undergoing unprecedented changes that include rising global temperatures and sea levels, extreme weather events, and the loss of biodiversity. In a time when the enormity of this crisis can be overwhelming, art provides a means to process and channel our emotions, engendering a sense of ownership and empowerment,” shared Shore and Tanguy.

By confronting uncomfortable truths through artistic expression, the curators and Mother Earth artists create the foundation for a deeper connection to the environment, a greater sense of urgency to protect our natural world, and a more holistic vision for a sustainable future.
