Citizen Animalia, is available for booking at your institution, produced byThe Department of Exhibitions, Performance and Student Spaces (DEPS) at Columbia College Chicago

Exhibition Description- In 1735 Swedish scientist Carolus Linnaeus invented a system of biological classification known as Taxonomy. Within it exists Kingdom Animalia, comprised of ten million species, everything on planet Earth that either swims, walks or flies including elephants, mosquitos, goldfish, snakes, cows, pigs and us, humans. Simultaneously with a sense of humor, hope and despair the artwork of Citizen Animalia call us to re-examine the complex relationship between us humans and our fellow members of Kingdom Animalia. 

 

Our world is filled with fascinating creatures that experience life in ways we can’t understand. We must treat them with respect. Citizen Animalia amplifies voices we typically don’t listen to and asks viewers to re-examine how our daily actions effect all life, not just human life.
