Artists in the Land Arts of the
American West program are proud to present “These systems are not Static”, an
exhibition of collaborative and individual artistic responses to place-based
research and engagement with environmental justice issues throughout the
American Southwest.
Land Arts of The American West
artists would like to acknowledge that all of the places we visited and learned
from are home to many indigenous communities and peoples. During the Fall of
2019, we visited Muley Point, UT; The Greater Chaco Region, Anton Chico, NM;
Valle Vidal, NM; Chiricahua Mountains, AZ; and the Gila National Forest, NM. We
met with indigenous activists and other environmental stewards to hear their
stories and learn about the work they are doing pertaining to oil and gas development,
seed sovereignty, forest ecology, and watershed restoration. This exhibition is
a reflection on these experiences through performance, film, sound, sculpture,
and more. Join us!
