The Socrates Annual 2024 features site-specific projects that consider the legacies of species migration juxtaposed with myths of invasion related to people, animals, and plants.

 

Our 2024 Artist Fellows consider the politics of settlement and complex legacies of species migration, illuminating ancestral agricultural technologies while facilitating interactions between humans and our landscapes, in the midst of proposing symbiotic opportunities for Earth’s future inhabitants.

 

The event is free and open to the public, and will include activations and performances initiated by the Artist Fellows. 

 

“This year’s exhibition reads like a love letter to the Park. Collectively, these nine projects embody a profound reverence and curiosity for the ecological history of our cherished greenspace and the host of communities it serves." - Kaitlin Garcia-Maestas, Curator & Director of Exhibitions of Socrates Sculpture Park

*Jill Cohen-Nuñez is the 2024 Devra Freelander Recipient
