Eco-Urgency: Now or Never

At Wave Hill: August 28–December 5, 2021
At Lehman College Art Gallery: December 4, 2021–April 23, 2022

Bronx, NY, July 7, 2021—Wave Hill, a public garden and cultural center in the Bronx, and Lehman College Art Gallery, City University of New York, are pleased to announce Eco-Urgency: Now or Never, a collaborative exhibition that shows the varied responses artists have to the unfolding ecological crisis. This two-part exhibition opens August 28, 2021, at Wave Hill. Part two opens at Lehman College Art Gallery on December 4.

Climate change, pollution, competition for natural resources and food insecurity threaten to overwhelm our planet and make earth uninhabitable. To encourage public engagement and deepen awareness of these issues, the artists in Eco-Urgency: Now or Never rely on research, critical analysis, observation and direct action that manifest as objects, videos, performances and community organizing. There are no easy answers, yet Eco-Urgency: Now or Never distills the current moment so that it can be approached, understood and acted on, provoking conversation and shared ideas.
