This multimedia exhibition, on view at the NCMA this spring, features contemporary artists whose works focus on urgent environmental issues. Living and working all over the world, these artists examine a broad range of current concerns, including sustainability and restoration, development and habitat loss, changing climates, and environmental justice. Looking at the consequences of inaction as well as possibilities for environmental stewardship and restoration, they also present alternative ways to move forward that are sustainable and renewable. At a time when it is easy to feel inundated by a 24-hour news stream of critical environmental challenges, the artists in Fault Lines offer the possibility for new perspectives and shifts in understanding of how the natural world is changing.
