LAND/BODY

Land and people shape one another through memory, labor, time, and environment. Our relationship with land is not always easy or fair; however, both can share in bounty and joy. Art House’s Spring 2026 exhibition, Land/Body, invites artists to explore the relationship between land and body, and how each shapes the other.
​
THEMES CAN EXPLORE:
Land with human traces.
​How we and the land grow together.
How humans and land affect each other through work.
Imagine the body and land as one.
Exploring struggles and rewards with land.
How our experiences shape the land and us.
Show what happens when people touch or work the land.
How land changes who we are.
