You are cordially invited to a group art show organized as a collateral to Lahore Biennale 03’s Climate Congress, of which several sessions will be held at LUMS. The artworks displayed in this exhibition are profound aesthetic expressions of the tension that, in many ways, defines our civilization—the tension between “progress” and preservation. These works use a range of artistic techniques and mediums to bring forth this tension and lay bare the physical, environmental, and psychological toll that urbanization, mass consumption, and population growth have had on human societies.
