survive/thrive.  july 2025 group show

Welcome to Survive/Thrive, a group show that focuses on the world we inhabit, its longevity and our survival.

 

Theme

 

Each year mother nature faces us with increasing challenges, in response to our ineptitude and greed. We reached a point where we need to collectively decide whether the future will be about survival or the thriving of all species. 

 

I challenge you to create postcards that that comes from one of two possible futures: 

  • Thrive: in this possible future, we restored our planet to its glory and we are living in a world where everyone and everything thrives.

  • Survive: in this possible future, we live in a dystopic world where survival is the centerpiece of our society.

 

Both options are likely and possible, as are your choices with this challenge.

​
