i3C at the BGA

Inspiring Change for the Climate Crisis

Curator Adriana G. Prat selected recent 2D/3D and installation artworks from 20 artists, from New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and Canada. The i3C artists' diverse backgrounds and art practices contribute to their shared personal and artistic commitment to the topic of the environmental crisis.

In their artistic explorations,

some of the artists address the impact of consumerism by reinventing reclaimed materials, or by creating a dialog with humanity's waste and pollution
some explore the effect of climate change in our local communities or global ecosystems
others celebrate natural beings, their interconnection, unique beauty and vulnerabilities, and even point to the spiritual and moral obligation we humans should have towards our common habitat.
