“Reframing Birds of America:” Conversations on Audubon

From 1827-1838 John James Audubon published Birds of America, which is generally considered to be among the finest examples of prints illustrating avian life in America. This exhibition explores these historic prints with a contemporary lens.

The selection of prints on display not only bear witness to the natural beauty of America’s birds, but also offer rich opportunities to reflect on current debates and issues around the problematic context in which the prints were created.
