Displacement, an exhibition of works by nine contemporary artists, explores the relationship between humans and their environments. Through textiles, sculptures, film, and scents, this exhibition examines human-driven alterations to the sea, land, and air, and the ways in which those systems are responding.⁠

⁠

By investigating the historic and current relationship between industrial civilization and the natural world, a range of issues are called into the frame, including migration, adaptation, and extinction. The visual languages of the artists in "Displacement" offer a lens through which the arc of human-environmental dynamics can be assessed and reconsidered.⁠



From now until December 8th, this is your chance to delve into the intricate interplay between humanity and its surroundings. Entry is FREE for all. Don't let this opportunity slip away - make your way to MassArt Art Museum today!
