This exhibition explores the planet through works by 17 artists in film, photography, and book arts. It highlights three key interactions with the land: as a path to freedom, a source of spiritual and bodily sustenance, and a means of enlightenment. Notable pieces include Carrie Mae Weems’s “North Star,” inspired by her grandfather’s journey to freedom, and Ayrson Heráclito’s “Bori (Feed the Head),” which explores the connection between food and spiritual wisdom.
