Emily van Lidth de Jeude and Markus Roemer are turning the Hearth Gallery into a visualization of the year 2022!
A Seasonal Cycles Graph will be displayed around the gallery walls, creating a space where visitors can experience the cycles of earth, moon, tides, and seasons in a striking new way. Above this graph will hang photos from our own ecology over the same time period. Imagine seeing photos of the cold and rainy spring we had right up above the graph that shows just how unseasonably cold that “Junuary” actually was!
The photos on the walls correspond with poems written also over the course of the same year, which explore the ecological and social events happening at that time. It’s a multi-layered approach to looking at “last year”, and visitors are invited to participate, by illustrating or writing about their experiences on the community mural that will also wrap around the walls of the gallery. Children are more than welcome to participate as well, and we hope that this exhibition will bring the community closer to each other and to our ecology, as we head into another spring.
