The students from The University of New Mexico’s Environmental Art & Regenerative Ecology course are excited to announce their upcoming exhibition in Las Vegas, New Mexico. We hope you can join us.

Something Tender from It All
Fire has always been in relationship with land but is now fueled by prolonged drought, climate crisis, and a complex history of land tenure. In this show, Art & Ecology artists and researchers offer their heartfelt exploration of intricate relationships with fire across species. Through site-based research, themes of responsibility, deep listening, grief, collective healing, caring for land and water emerged in the shadow of the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon burn. These reflections on landscapes and livelihoods transformed by recent fires are presented through a variety of artistic mediums.
