Strange Natures features the work of three artists exploring themes of communal care, loss, resilience, and tenderness through the lens of South Florida’s ecology. While the artists use different mediums, they all engage in a process of world-building that feels both of and beyond our natural environment.

The exhibition imagines how our connection to land will change depending on our collective response, whether care or indifference, to the exploitation of our natural ecosystems. By contemplating this relationship within the context of South Florida’s landscape, the artists explore versions of reality that oscillate between dystopia and utopia, present and future, the familiar and strange.
