Robin Adler will discuss her new exhibition, In the Future When We Can See the Past. For Adler, storytelling is the most powerful way for people and cultures to share information and gain insight. Her new exhibition, In the Future When We Can See the Past, celebrates stories as steppingstones that help us clarify who we are and where we need to go. Her large-scale monotypes ask: How do we face the current crises? Since we live in the footprint of other civilizations, what lessons do we learn from stories of the past? Thus, in her Pompeii series, Adler invokes stories pieced together from a civilization changed in an instant. What can we learn from the ashes once we uncover them? In Adler’s The Crescent Moon Bear series, each challenge met by the protagonist is an opportunity for a deeper level of insight.
