Join us for the opening reception of “From This Grass Earth.” A 15-documentary about the project will be screened at 6 p.m. in the Museum.
“From This Grass Earth” celebrates the wild and immense beauty of the North American grasslands by exploring the legacy of stewards of the Great Plains landscape. Through a marriage of art, science, and poetry, visitors can experience and engage with the landscape through a myriad of aesthetic, scientific, and ecological lenses.
The collaborative exhibition (up March 4–May 28, 2016) features photographs from the Rediscover the Prairie expedition by Sebastian Tsocanos, photographs and poems written on the trail by Robin Walter, graphics compiled by the World Wildlife Fund that articulate ecological trends underway in North America’s grasslands, and an interactive interface that allows viewers to identify the threats facing the Great Plains ecoregion.
From This Grass Earth aims to increase awareness of a critically endangered landscape and excite a deeper understanding, appreciation, and engagement with the natural world and our place within it. For more information about the project, please visit: http://www.rediscovertheprairie.org. This exhibition was made possible with the support of the Nebraska Arts Council and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.
