Click HERE to visit the online gallery and shop
The Ground Upon Which We Stand is a regional juried exhibition sponsored by the Northern California Women's Caucus for Art (NCWCA) in collaboration with the Abrams Claghorn Gallery.
Seventy-eight artists speak out about the sacredness of the land and the importance of standing your ground in this era of climate change and a global health crisis. With works represented in all media, the exhibition offers messages to and from the planet through the artists’ responses to nature, environmental pressures, society and the fate of our only home, Planet Earth. These artworks engage on multiple levels – wonder, worry, hopefulness, activism. Echoing Greta Thunberg’s call to action, the exhibition stresses that there is no plan B nor planet B.
The Ground Upon Which We Stand is more relevant than ever because the well being of our planet is intricately interwoven with our own. The exhibition also shines a spotlight on women's identities and their embodied experiences with planet Earth.
