Facing Extinction

Opening Reception:
Sunday, March 9, 2014

In 1914, the last known passenger pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) died at the Cincinnati Zoo. One hundred years later, we are still grappling with the environmental, cultural, and moral issues of human-caused extinctions. In this group exhibition, artists present work that addresses the extinction and survival of species and the potential resiliency of Earth's biodiversity.
