The students from The University of New Mexico’s Environmental Art & Regenerative Ecology course present their exhibition, Something Tender from It All, at Gallery 140 in Las Vegas, New Mexico.

Fire has always been in relationship with land but is now fueled by prolonged drought, climate crisis, and a complex history of tenure. In this show, Art & Ecology artists and researchers offer their heartfelt exploration of intricate relationships with fire across species. Through site-based research, themes of responsibility, deep listening, grief, collective healing, and caring for land and water emerged in the shadow of the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon burn. These reflections on landscapes and livelihoods transformed by recent fires are presented through a variety of artistic mediums.

Featured Artists: katie butler, miranda rae chun, daniela del mar, Isabel Heiland, Jess Lanham, Isabella Romero, sachika sethi

Gallery Hours: Friday 4-7 pm, Saturday and Sunday 1-4 pm
