Re-Imagining Conservation strives to create space for multidisciplinary and varied perspectives about conservation. It encourages visitors to consider new ways to find a healthy balance in our human-animal relationships, including how we live together in shared environments.
To ask and answer these questions as fully and deeply as possible, we exhibited Re-Imagining Conservation in two simultaneous locations:
One in New York City in partnership with the URBAN SOILS INSTITUTE at SWALE HOUSE on Governors Island, subtitled “From the Ground Up”
And one in Jackson, WY at the NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WILDLIFE ART, subtitled “From Many Viewpoints.”
