Spirit in the Land, which accompanies the art exhibition of the
same name, examines today's urgent ecological concerns from a fresh
perspective. Through their artwork and writing, the artists show
how cultural identity and traditions are deeply rooted in our
relationship with the land, illustrate the restorative need to
return to nature, and exemplify how biodiversity and cultural
diversity are essential to our survival. The exhibition and
catalogue center the voices of underrepresented artists,
approaching ecological awareness and environmental, social, and
racial justice from the perspectives of the marginalized
communities most negatively affected by today's crises. Acting as
environmental stewards, the artists reveal nature to be a
repository of cultural memory, a place of sanctuary, a contested
site of resistance, and a source of spiritual nourishment. As land
and water provide a sense of place and community, the exhibition
aims to reconnect people to the natural world, illustrating our
interdependence with all life on Earth. Spirit in the Land speaks
to the urgency of today and projects a hopeful path for our future,
where nature is cared for by humans, so that in turn nature may
heal humanity. Artists: Terry Adkins, Firelei Baez, Radcliffe
