Through science-inspired sculpture, painting, collage and installation, the artworks examine local impacts – happening here and now – ranging from extreme heat to flooding to habitat loss, and more. They also shine light on local solutions underway, like backyard habitat restoration and nature-based approaches to slowing stormwater. Some imagine future possibilities. The works weave together a story – from the intensely personal to the observational, and from a cellular to grand scale – of what is happening and what is possible in our region. This exhibition was created through a collaboration between Columbia College Chicago, DePaul University's Institute for Nature and Culture, and Terracom.
