Fierce Lament

Fierce Lament

Art and poetry focus on the harrowing state of our environment. Opening reception on Earth Day.

Fierce Lament at Form + Content Gallery is an exhibition curated by Minneapolis artist and activist Camille J. Gage. Inspired by the recent COP21 climate conference in Paris, and the Earth Day happenings of the past 46 years, Gage invited 18 artists and poets to share new and existing work that addresses the human relationship with the natural world that supports and sustains us.

Exhibiting work in variety of disciplines, Fierce Lament is an investigation into what artists and others might do to understand and re-weave our broken connection with the Earth.

The first Earth Day was held 46 years ago in 1970. A response to a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, CA, the event was organized as a “national teach-in” to educate and inspire the public about environmental stewardship. Earth Day 2016 will take place on April 22nd.
