Media are invited to the Canadian Museum of Nature on Thursday,
October 10 for a preview of
Rewilding: The David Suzuki
Foundation Arts Prize. The première of
this unique exhibition showcases artworks from the winners of the
inaugural David Suzuki Foundation Rewilding Arts Prize. Thirteen
Canadian artists bring the concept of rewilding to life,
highlighting the vital role nature plays in our communities through
their compelling works of art. Through their visionary
works—created with various media, such as textiles, photos, videos,
and reused materials—they offer perspectives on nature,
biodiversity loss and climate change.
Rewilding will be on view at the Canadian Museum of Nature from
Oct. 11, 2024, to Sept. 8, 2025.
