Landscapes are geographical areas characterized by diverse ecosystems and range from natural environments including forests, prairies, deserts, oceans and lakes to human-inhabited networks such as agricultural and urban terrains. Human interactions shape the global landscape over time by adapting and evolving within the changing environment.
A cultural landscape evokes a sense of history for a specific site and connects the land to this identity. Expressing significance for the valued location, a community commemorates these events by erecting identity markers like parks, pathways, monuments, bridges, etc…
Capturing the natural and human-made structures of our surroundings, artists continue to be inspired and influenced by the landscape. The Landscape is Changing features multimedia artworks depicting urban to rural settings; architecture to agriculture: mountains to monuments.
