An opening reception for the exhibit will be held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 26. Refreshments will be served, and attendees will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about art, community, and climate consciousness. Modrak’s work bridges art and science to explore psychological and physiological landscapes. Her sculptures and participatory installations delve into the composition of brain cells, emotional vulnerability, memory formation, and the fragility of our ecosystem, raising awareness about the climate crisis and fostering visceral connections among people. Her work has been exhibited in numerous prestigious venues, and her public participatory artwork, “Our Memories,” has been featured in several prominent locations in New York City. In addition to the exhibit, the gallery will host public workshops where participants can create sculptural totems that will be included in the display. Workshops will take place from noon to 2 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 24, and from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 25, in the studios at the Arts Center at Murphy Hall. Free and open to all, these sessions invite the community to get their hands dirty and their creativity flowing, contributing to a powerful environmental dialogue.
