An Exhibition in the Hazel Wolf Gallery

David Brower Center

2150 Allston Way
Berkeley, CA 94704

Communities around the world have been broken apart by land development, the disappearance of tradition, and stark differences in values around land use. From farming and seed libraries to the livelihood of nomadic shepherds ... what does “preservation” mean when it comes to tradition, land, and knowledge? For this exhibition, the David Brower Center has commissioned the first collaboration between AmyFranceschini (San Francisco, CA) and Fernando García-Dory (Madrid, Spain). The show will feature past works by the two artists, and we are thrilled to announce the premiere of García-Dory’s first solo show in the United States.
