The Anthropocene Extinction Event: a group show about species extinction, advocating for environmental awareness and protection.

 This exhibition explores the factors that are driving the sixth mass extinction, chiefly climate change.

 If you live in an urban environment as most of us do, the climate crisis can seem distant and almost unreal.

Memories of the Black Summer bushfires that briefly shocked us into awareness, have faded as the covid pandemic has taken hold of our attention.

The experience of climate change is filtered through the media, turned into sound bites and flattened-out images of disasters happening in faraway places to other people.

Amid this general sense of dislocation, scientists and artists continue to unflinchingly examine the unfolding climate crisis and record what they see. However, art can touch us on a deeper level than facts and figures can, to shock us back into awareness of the real devastation of species and habitats being caused by climate change in Australia.

The Anthropocene Extinction Event, by turns heartrending and humorous, always uncomfortable, features the work of 13 emerging and established artists united by their passion for the natural world, that will challenge you to confront the toll that pollution and climate change is taking on our loved native animals and landscapes and take action to protect them.

 Paintings, drawing, photography, sculpture, installation and performance by:

Artists include Monika Scarrabelotti, Graeme Pauley, Alyx Guidi, Bron Price, Nienke Brand, Paul Venables, Vance Raeburn, Gilda Rizzo, Catherine Giles, Michael Teleshoff, Loretta Ryan-Krawczyk, and Brian McDonald.

 Presented by the Garage Art Action Group and Extinction Rebellion.

The Anthropocene Extinction Event runs from 14-20th March, opening on Saturday the 19th of March at 6pm.
