Five of ANNE ZAHALKA’s works from the series ‘Wild Life’ and ‘Lost Landscapes’ are included in the upcoming exhibition, ‘Carbon Neutral’, opening at 6pm on Friday 18 February at the Canberra Contemporary Art Space (CCAS).
Curated by Alexander Boynes, ‘Carbon Neutral’ is an exhibition of works by contemporary Australian artists that addresses the Climate Crisis, and attempts to add to the cultural wealth of our society without adding more carbon emissions. Artists have the capacity to provoke meaningful dialogue around the existential threats of fire, drought and ecocide due to human-induced climate change through their practice. ‘Carbon Neutral’ ultimately aims to pose one question: how does an artist produce work to inspire hope and optimism to face the biggest challenge in our lifetimes, without leaving a carbon footprint?
