In Loving Memory Of…

Themed Portfolio Exchange organized by Anna Tararova

Description

Scientists estimate that 150-200 species of plant, insect, bird and mammal become extinct every 24 hours. The Earth is now going through its sixth mass extinction of plants and animals. Unlike past mass extinctions, caused by events like asteroid strikes, volcanic eruptions, and natural climate shifts, the current crisis is almost entirely caused by humans. Because the rate of change in our biosphere is increasing, and because every species' extinction potentially leads to the extinction of others bound to that species in a complex ecological web, numbers of extinctions are likely to snowball in the coming decades as ecosystems fall apart.

This portfolio exchange invites printmakers to create a memorial to one or more extinct species of their choice which have impacted the artists’ local ecosystems.

The portfolio will be on view in Zygote Press print studio.
