As a record-breaking heatwave hits the West Coast that’s been attributed to climate change, a group of artists explore the topic in a Santa Ana art gallery.
The Orange County Center for Contemporary Art put an international call out for “The Anthropocene Epiphany: Art and Climate Change” exhibit. The show is centered on Anthropocene, a time period in which humans have a significant impact on Earth’s geology and ecosystems. Artists responded with work across all mediums painting, drawing, collage, photography, sculpture, video, installations and fashion pieces.
