Ebb + Flow, a group exhibition curated as part of the 2024 "Making Home—Smithsonian Design Triennial", assembles collective stories and sounds from the Everglades wetlands of South Florida. Organized by Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE), whose residency program has cultivated artists’ perspectives on the National Park since 2001, Ebb + Flow honors the human communities and various ecosystems that have called and continue to call the Everglades their home, considering a worldview that expands beyond the Anthropocene. Including oral histories from preservation advocates such as Daniel Tommie, Dinizulu Gene Tinnie, and Dr. Wallis Tinnie in an environment conceived by AIRIE Alumni Cornelius Tulloch, Germane Barnes, and Christina Pettersson, Atéha Bailly, and Ania Freer, the installation articulates the cultural and environmental heritage of this essential subtropical ecosystem under threat by urban development and climate crisis.
