[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.
