[Photo Story] ‘When the Bough Breaks’ Exhibit Grapples With Climate Emergency
A new exhibit has graced Art Alley in the HUB-Robeson Center. “When the Bough Breaks,” organized by Susanne Slavick, features mixed-media artwork exploring the climate that surrounds us, shelters us, and weathers our abuse.
The featured artwork depicts our interactions with nature, both positive and detrimental.
Accompanying each artwork is a relevant poem, guiding the viewer’s thought through the artists’ perceptions of nature.
As the viewer moves around the room, the impacts of human intervention upon our world become more and more apparent.
The artists depict discarded technological items, graffiti, and simple construction with natural materials.
“When the Bough Breaks” perfectly combines the beauty of nature with the devastating result of human activity.
The exhibit will remain open in the HUB through May 9.
