This landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science, both past and present, with exhibitions on subjects ranging from ancient cosmologies to Indigenous sci-fi, and from environmental justice to synthetic biology. Mark your calendars for Fathomers' exhibition, Emergence: A Genealogy, opening at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center in September 2024.
About Emergence: A Genealogy
The emerging field of synthetic biology, which has the power to expansively transform modern life, offers an urgent opportunity to confront the innovative nature and “wisdom” of the “wise human” Homo sapiens. What forms of life will we choose to cultivate moving forward? What will we nurture, and what might we leave behind, whether by choice or by accident? Where does agency reside in this new moment of making, learning and living with? Emergence: A Genealogy invites the public to explore these questions together, inspired by iconic bio artworks, new lab-based discoveries and design solutions, and a range of wildly creative thinkers serving as embodied prompts, guides and provocateurs.
