Natural Affinity explores how empathy impacts climate activism, and how a more intimate relationship to nature can build a better environmental future. This show includes an exhibition of student artwork from Maine colleges organized by Zach Liljeholm exploring the theme of “Empathy with Nature.” The reception will be accompanied by music with DJ Ben Spalding. Come rediscover your relationship with nature through embodiment, dance, and admiration, then take your passion to the beautiful outdoors! 

Nature-inspired outfits and costumes are encouraged. This pop up exhibition will take place in the SPACE venue next to the Envisioning Resilience exhibition for one night only, with an artist reception starting at 6:30pm, music and more begins at 7:15pm.

Natural Affinity features selected artworks by Michelle Bechtel, Evelyn Eirinn, Miryam Keller, Calvin Kestner, Alyssa Letendre, Abbey Mills, Nick Myers, Caitlin Perrigo, Wills Phillips, and Isaac L. Stern.

Made possible with support from Sierra Club Maine Chapter, Maine Youth for Climate Justice, Maine Climate Justice Now!, Friends of Casco Bay, Plant Office, Adobe, VIA Agency, and the Center for an Ecology Based Economy.
