Featuring works from the collection of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art spanning nearly two thousand years —from approximately 1300 BCE to 400 CE—Flora et Fauna examines how ancient Mediterranean societies understood and depicted the natural world.
This exhibition highlights the work of contemporary artists who explore these hemispheric histories of indigeneity, gender, activism, and empathy throughout the Américas. These artists forge profound historical, cultural, and political connections between the North and the South, documenting and reflecting powerful moments of activism that, fueled by both joy and rage, have fomented social change across borders.
