Human Nature
Re-Opens Tuesday, April 20
The Autry: Bank of America Gallery
About the Exhibition
Focusing on four key California stories—Salmon, Fire, Desert, and Plants—Human Nature reveals how traditional ecological knowledge can help current residents understand and care for the environment. Vividly illustrated with Native American objects and contemporary artworks, photography, soundscapes, and multimedia displays, the exhibition investigates the ways in which culture and ecology merge in the California landscape.
