Human Nature, Animal Culture: Selections from the Frye Art Museum Collection

Human Nature, Animal Culture: Selections from the Frye Art Museum Collection
JUNE 12, 2021 – SEPTEMBER 11, 2022
Reason, science, and culture supposedly elevate humans above nature, yet many of our species’ greatest achievements would not have been possible without animals. They have nourished our bodies, carried our belongings, and become our closest companions, helping humans to create society, culture, and the arts as we know them. But too often we take animals for granted. Now, as we confront climate change, humankind is forced to re-examine how we affect animals and the natural world. While we turn to science for solutions to address this crisis, we can look to art to understand our past, present, and future relationships with our fellow creatures.
