Second Nature is a major exhibition featuring forty-five photo-based artists from around the world. It uses contemporary photography to explore the Anthropocene era, characterized by human impact on the planet. The exhibition includes aerial views of toxic sites, archival photo collages challenging colonial histories, large-scale urban depictions, and speculative futures. These works address critical issues such as climate change, resource depletion, and the legacies of colonialism and environmental trauma. Find out more on the Cantor Arts Center's website.
