❖ Sister Exhibition: Animals, Nature and Grief (Green Pet-Burial Society)


Curation and Commentary by Eric Greene.

Across cultures and centuries, animals have occupied extraordinary places in the human imagination. They have appeared as companions and creatures of the wild, spiritual beings and mythological figures, symbols of power and subjects of contemplation. Bringing together works from across the world and throughout history, this gallery explores the remarkable diversity of ways human cultures have imagined—and represented—their relationships with other animals, and their understanding of themselves.

Enjoy this newest gallery—we’re just getting started.
