Siu Challons-Lipton - Subject: Invitation to Exhibit in Fall 2025 “Rooted: Our Place in Nature” Group Show Dear Kate, I’m currently assembling the Fall exhibition at the Queens Galleries, and I wanted to reach out to see if you’re interested in participating in a group show with some of your work. The exhibition will run from late August through mid-December and will explore the theme of nature as part of our 2025 Connected Campus series: Rooted: Our Place in Nature. The exhibition will focus on themes such as ecosystems, the living world, and our relationship to nature. I’d love to discuss how your work might fit into the show. The Connected Campus is a semester-long series of collaboratively curated events presented by various campus departments. It leverages the universality of the arts to engage diverse audiences in deeper explorations of meaningful concepts, cultures, and movements. One of the spotlight events in the series features Robin Wall Kimmerer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass. Her work centers on gratitude, reciprocity, and community, drawing on Indigenous wisdom and the natural world to reimagine what we value most. I hope you’ll consider being part of this exciting interdisciplinary conversation. Let me know if you’d like to meet—I'd be happy to give you a tour of the galleries and talk more about the vision for the show. Warmly, Siu
