Voices Along the Pipelines

August 2019

Curator: Carrie Barcomb

The purpose of this exhibit is to increase awareness of the risks associated with expanding fossil fuel infrastructure. With themes of environmental racism, cultural injustice, climate change, and industrial oppression - these works represent a movement in Citizen Art rooted in basic human rights, serving as a basis for inspiration and transformation, where individuals and communities are linked together by active social engagement to create civic impact.
