27 international artists explore wide ranging aspects of the climate emergency, offering commentary & creative nature-based strategies.

After the success of the first, virtual manifestation of environmental exhibition Points of Return, a second instalment was held in the USA, this time in physical, large-scale form, at The Umbrella Arts Center, Concord MA (May 1st – June 25th 2023), split across five themed spaces. Much like the original online version of the exhibition, an immersive journey was mapped out by curators A La Luz, plotted to allow visitors fresh and engaging insights into wide-ranging aspects of the climate crisis, its end destination that of resolute optimism. For, while it may seem that we are racing toward a closing act, as our planet’s average temperature rises year-on-year, solutions remain within sight – we have not yet reached the dreaded “point of no return” and artists are in the unique position of being able to offer scientific data in new ways. Through dynamic display and crossing several artistic disciplines, the twenty-seven artists who now form the project’s lineup provide commentary, reflection, and creative restorative strategies. The curators are now seeking the project’s next venue. A summary PDF can be downloaded here.
