Unplowed Realities 09/10/26-11/19/2026 examines the interconnected lives of farms, land, animals, and communities at a time when small farmers face growing economic and environmental pressures.
Joan O’Neal’s portraits of dairy cows shift our gaze from animal as resource to animal as subject, inviting reflection on empathy, labor, and our shared vulnerability.
George Shenk explores the people and practices that sustain small farms, revealing the connections between agricultural labor, land, food, and community well-being.
Together, the artists ask us to reconsider how we value land, labor, animals, and life—and the essential role of care in sustaining them all. Reception: Sept.18,5:30pm-7:00pm
