Land-Learning at NEST Gallery

𖦹 Exhibition Land-Learning at NEST Gallery, Florida (USA).

‍

The 2024 AIRIE Alumni exhibition “Land-learning” surveys the tangible and intangible experiences, stories, and records of the Everglades. This group show explores the investigations of fellows during their time as resident artists in the Everglades.


"Artists continue to contribute and challenge learning systems to communicate the natural world. Whether through scientific data, ancestral memory, historical records, or oral storytelling, AIRIE Fellows find themselves inspired by the stories of the landscape of the Everglades, combining methodology and mythology. Their unique observations materialize and help educate the greater public to learn about the land, guide us in how we steward it, and understand our place within the larger ecosystem. We must unlearn, relearn, and transform our learning systems by truly listening to the landscape we inhabit, which shapes our cultural identity."


The works in the exhibition become tools and lessons to guide current and future generations in creating affirming spaces within the environment.


Join us for the opening of the “Land-learning” exhibiton, Saturday November 23rd at 11 am. Mingle with AIRIE Artists and Team and refreshments provided! RSVP here.


The exhibition is on view now at the AIRIE Nest Gallery, which is open seven days a week and free for all guests at the Ernest F. Coe Visitors Center in Everglades National Park.
