The Shapiro Center presents an online event, featuring Binh Dahn and other contemporary voices involved in Storm Cloud, to bring forward questions of environmental history to the present. The program will cover such topics as land extraction, human influence on plants, environmental injustice, immigration, photographic technologies, and reparative histories.
The exhibition Storm Cloud: Picturing the Origins of Our Climate Crisis charts the emerging awareness of human impact on the environment over the course of the 19th century. The show traces varied reactions to industrialization across writing and the visual arts, as well as the emerging sciences of geology, meteorology, and ecology. The inclusion of five contemporary artists whose work references 19th-century themes and photographic techniques demonstrates an engagement with these legacies.
