Threatened, Endangered, Extinct looks at artistic responses in contemporary printmaking to species-level threats generated by human activity. To mark the centenary year of the loss of the passenger pigeon, the exhibition presents work by artists whose practices highlight some of the key ways that printmakers have responded to the many crises facing animal life in an era in which humans are profoundly reshaping the biosphere.
