Kehinde Wiley features in 'Strange Weather'

'Strange Weather' explores the relationships and boundaries between bodies and the environment. Curated by UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences Director Dr. Rachel Nelson and Professor Jennifer González, Visual Studies, the group exhibition brings together works by artists including Carlos Amorales, Leonardo Drew, Joe Feddersen, Edgar Heap of Birds, Hung Liu, Alison Saar, Kiki Smith, Wendy Red Star and Kehinde Wiley. 

“For 'Strange Weather', we selected artworks from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation with climate change weighing heavily on our minds.” Dr. Nelson explains. “While this is certainly not a didactic exhibition, living through wildfires and drought motivated us to explore the impressive collections of over 16,000 objects for the different aesthetic approaches artists use to illuminate the histories, experiences, and socio-political contexts that lead to this moment.”
