Laboratory for Other Worlds


  • Governor's Island 20A Nolan Park New York, NY (map)

In collaboration with Patte Loper’s project, Laboratory for other wolds at NYU Gallatin' Schools Wet Lab project on Governor’s Island, NYC—more info to come!

Laboratory for Other Worlds is not just an exhibition, it is also a research project. The aim is to raise awareness of the Environmental Humanities through the visual arts. At this moment, across the globe, significant bodies of scientific knowledge exist that point to the dangers of extreme climate to human and more-than-human worlds. Human communities and sensitive non-human wildlife communities rely on the ecologies of the world, yet still our society at large is having difficulty developing cultural and policy responses equal to the challenges faced worldwide. Visual art has the potential to help build the public knowledge necessary for the best possible outcomes in an age of global warming and mass extinction.
