Featuring 24 artists working across diverse mediums—painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media—Laudato Si’: Caring for Our Common Home presents a rich tapestry of work, both realistic and abstract, that reflect the beauty of our planet and the urgency of its preservation.
Grounded in the themes of care, responsibility, and interconnection, the exhibition examines the human impact on the environment and the ethical imperative to act as stewards of creation. It also considers Pope Francis’s emphasis on an interfaith approach to ecological protection: What does a unified spiritual response to climate change look like? How can collective belief systems foster accountability and hope?
A critical component of this exhibition is its focus on environmental justice, illuminating how climate change and ecological degradation disproportionately affect marginalized communities around the world. Through the voices and visions of artists from a range of cultural and geographic backgrounds, Laudato Si’ invites visitors to reflect, question, and imagine new paths toward healing the Earth and each other.
Participating Artists: Kim Bricker, Gregory Brellochs, Angelo Canta, SJ, Nora Chavooshian, David Enriquez, Roberta Tucci, Mary Negro, Rebecca Schultz, Rebecca Rutstein, Jack Elliott, Jennie Booth, June Yong Lee, Jean Burdick, Michelle Marcuse, Zhiqian Wang, Steve Donegan, Amie Potsic, Deirdre Murphy, Rosalind Bloom, Emily Brown, Billy Friebele, Sandra Benhaim, Josh Urso and Michael Webb.
