Fire Season

The exhibition Fire Season, sparks conversation around transformation, vulnerability, adaptation, and the elemental forces that shape our world. Fire is both catastrophe and catalyst. It clears and renews landscapes, gathers communities, signals danger, creates warmth, and reshapes memory. In the American West, fire season has become an annual reality tied to climate change, drought, smoke, displacement, and resilience. Yet fire also exists beyond disaster: as ritual, technology, energy, protest, illumination, passion, ceremony, and material process.
