In the Gallery at Habitat: Shared Habitat Earth

Exhibit Open September 8-October 28, 2024

For the months of September and October, Mass Audubon Habitat will be displaying various visual works from the artist collective Shared Habitat Earth (SHE). 

Shared Habitat Earth (SHE) suggests cross-species respect, intercultural solidarity, and a shared sense of responsibility. In the face of enormous threats to our habitat, it calls for action. The intent of the exhibits is to interweave art and activism, using the works to inspire viewers to act, all the while keeping them grounded in their empathy and humanity. The 40+ exhibiting artists use their creativity to fight against discouragement in the face of the daunting task of stopping climate change, and the strength of emotion displayed is palpable.

Artists' Reception
Saturday, September 21 • 5:00 pm

The artists' reception will feature a presentation and birdsong-reproduction performance by acclaimed classical composer Alexander Liebermann. 

Alexander Liebermann is a German-French composer of classical music, whose acclaimed works are characterized by an eclectic blend of diverse topics such as philosophy, biology, astronomy, and other fields. Among his most recent commissions are a climate-change-reflecting monodrama written for the Deutsche Oper Berlin, a birdsong-inspired wind quintet for the Brazilian Winds Ensemble, and a soundtrack for the documentary film ‘Frozen Corpses Golden Treasures.’

As a passionate nature enthusiast, Liebermann spends much of his time studying the sounds of wildlife. He is known for his original and accurate transcriptions of animal vocalizations, which have gone viral on social media and been featured in the world-renowned magazine National Geographic. These transcriptions have also earned him invitations to international congresses in Colombia and Brazil, as well as a feature on CBS Sunday Morning. Liebermann is the author of Birdsong: A Musical Field Guide, a book that offers a unique perspective on the musicality of birds and their relationship to human music-making.
