"Surprisingly Natural: The Nature of the Bronx" Exhibition
Lehman College Art Gallery
This event has ended.
Wave Hill, Lehman College Art Gallery and the Bronx River Art Center collaborate this autumn to present Surprisingly Natural: The Nature of the Bronx, a photography exhibition that explores nature as an essential element in the fabric of the Bronx. In the face of recent, rapid urban development throughout New York City, these photographs locate the open and green spaces that have long anchored the landscape of the Bronx.
It is the physical Bronx that sets the stage for the photographers in Surprisingly Natural. Each struggles with what might seem at first an oxymoron - the conundrum of nature in the midst of the urban. In each photograph there is an awareness of the fragility of nature in the city and the delicate balance that allows them both to flourish.
