Da Vinci Art Alliance is proud to present “The Earth Has a Fever,” a printmaking exhibition curated by Bill Brookover. How can art about environmental catastrophe move us to action? That is the question at the heart of the exhibition featuring a wide array of printmaking techniques. The works in this immersive exhibition aim to change the conversation around the climate crisis by approaching it first from a place of feeling. “Art may not be capable of revolutionary change in the world, but art consists of ideas embedded in objects,” said Bill Brookover, the curator behind “The Earth Has a Fever.” In turn, those ideas can create “new ways of understanding and connecting with the world around us.”
