Patterns & Parallels: The Great Imperative to Survive
January 10 – March 16, 2025
“Patterns & Parallels: The Great Imperative to Survive” is an exhibition of selected images from the project, Space for Birds. By integrating three perspectives of migratory bird corridors—space, aerial and surface—this global, emotional story encourages ethical protection of fragile, endangered, and threatened avian species and the habitats they need to survive. It infuses the creative, artistic elements of the natural world with the energy of curiosity for things that science attempts to understand.
