Sustainability tour of “Inhabited World: Living with Nature” Exhibit

Join the Planet Blue Ambassador program and Kelsey Museum for “Inhabited World: Living with Nature”, the fourth installment in the Object Spotlights series. This sustainability-focused tour explores how communities across the Middle East and North Africa lived with, adapted to, and reimagined their environments from 400 to 1800 CE. Through a focused display of objects, the installation examines how people engaged with nature by augmenting, capturing, and consuming their surroundings—practices that shaped artistic expression, domestic life, and spiritual experience.
Developed by graduate student curators Heidi Hilliker (MES), Sam Ross (IPAMAA), Bailey Franzoi (IPAMAA), and Kara Larson (UMMAA), with support from visiting curator Katherine Burge, the exhibition highlights the deep and enduring relationship between people and the natural world, offering insight into historical models of sustainable living.
The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Space is limited, so you will receive a confirmation email after registration confirming your spot.
