Joseph Rossano: IVORY .125
This event is in the past

Traver Gallery
Downtown Seattle (Seattle)
This is an in-person event
"Ivory .125 marks one eighth of the journey to Ivory: an exhibition that explores this question and others, particularly the predominant hand of humans in animal extinction. This exhibition engages viewers in the troubled power relations and devastating effects of the global trade in illegal animal parts as an entry point to the broader extinction crisis. In all its iterations, Ivory, reveals how our legacy as a species is inseparably tied to behaviors and values driven to ensure human survival. Only by acknowledging our collective culpability may we move to rightly repair our cumulative destruction of the natural world, and begin acting to insure that the remnants of this planet's wild lands and inhabitants can survive for epochs to come."
