Atlantika Collective: Climate for Change on View in Pinkard Gallery Through March 3

Art & Articles

As a worldwide ecological crisis unfolds before our eyes, more voices are needed in demanding urgent action to prevent the ultimate cataclysm for the human race.

The artists of Atlantika Collective address this issue in a show in MICA's Pinkard Gallery, on show and free to the public through March 3, 2024.

Over the last two years, the artists of Atlantika Collective, which include a number of MICA alums, have addressed this critical issue from diverse vantage points. Their works speak to concerns about unsustainable development, wildfires, erosion, poisoned waters, floods, and pollution—and the looming specter of a climate crisis that threatens to spiral out of control. However, they also balance fear with hope, moving us beyond the step of raising awareness into action that has the potential to result in meaningful change.

About Atlantika Collective

Atlantika is an international creative collective of artists, writers, curators, educators, and thinkers.

We focus on sharing ideas, making connections, and building collaborative relationships in an “open circle” model that engages others and strengthens support for the arts in society. We embrace transparency in the creative process, from idea to development to result. We believe in social responsibility, community, and nurturing a contemporary humanism through art.
